axle swap

Hello, I recently destroyed the stock Dana 35 in my TJ and I’m replacing it with a Dana 44 out of a 2021 gladiator rubicon. I’m wondering if I can use my stock brake fittings for the new disk brakes? or if I need an adapter what size? Also has anyone else done this conversion yet? Any info on...

I am installing my rear Dana 489 from ECGS, and the spring perch diameter is way less than stock. My stock 35 had a perfect size perch for the spring to seat on and "lock" into. Anyone ever come across this? Am I supposed to just use the retainer and let the spring move around that much on...

Hi All, Currently undergoing an axle swap and need to know where to mount the three link brackets on the front axle for the Savvy mid arm. Are there any measurements to go off of? Should the top link be centered on the axle vertically and some specific distance to the driver side of the axle...

I bought a pair of complete axles (Dana 30/Dana 35 super; both with new chromoly shafts and locker (35) /LSD (30)) from a forum member who has written up their rig on this sight. Our vehicles are only a year apart and should be a straight swap. He had the axles built only a couple of years ago...

Brand new never even unwrapped Barnes 4wd Ford 8.8 to TJ swap and truss kit 150.00, have a explorer rear end that I cut off all the stock mounts that I am willing to toss in but its been sitting outside. I am still the worst at getting pictures on these it looks just like the one on their site...

Anyone ever swap axles between a Rubicon and Sport and put the Dana 30/d35s in the rubicon? I have access to a rubicon and the owner doesn't care about lockers and Dana 44. I have a sport and would love to do a direct swap. Anyone have experience doing this type of trade and making both jeeps run...

Happy Quarantining everyone! In order to celebrate being in the house all the time, I want to get started on a High Pinion Dana 30 front axle build to swap into my 2004 LJ. There is a 1995 Cherokee at the Pick N Pull near me. Might stroll over there to see if the front axle is still there. Am I...

I bought a Ford 8.8 and in the process of shaving all the bracketry off and doing all the seals and bearings. I'm planning on doing a truss kit because I think it will all be easier in the long run rather than individual brackets for everything and getting the geometry right on all of it. The...

Hi, Was wondering if I swapped out my rear Dana 30 diff and axles will a Dana 44 diff and axles bolt right in using the rest of the existing stuff on the car? Such as is the brakes, hubs, ball joints, Cs, knuckles, and steering the same? Thanks

I'm about to throw in the towel on finding a decently priced Dana 44 and after reading through @RangerRick 's red headed stepchild build going to a Dana 60 might be a better option anyways behind my V8. I found a brand new, never even mounted Dana 60 locally for $650 with 4.10's. This would mean I'd...

I have a 2000 Jeep tj 4.0 5speed nv3550 transmission, stock axles, stock gears with a 2.5inch lift on 35s, I’m looking to step it up, wear should I go from here I want to keep the 35s, upgrade my rear axle first, do 3.5inch coil springs with adjustable control arms all around + shocks and trace...

Looking at a used Dana 44 to swap into my 1998 TJ. The 44 is from a 2004 and was equipped with disc brakes. However it doesn't look like any of the brake parts come with the axle. My question is will the drum brakes from my current Dana 35C fit on the disc brake 44. I have found info that...

The factory Dana 35 rear axle found in most TJ Wranglers is a little on the light side, and if you run larger-than-stock tires, you’re likely looking at an eventual failure. If you want to turn really big tires, wheel abusively, or push gobs of power into your rear axle, you’ll probably want to...

So two things on my mind with this. 1) does anyone make a complete 14 bolt swap kit for a tj? 2) is the ARB really the only option for a selectable locker?
