I got a good deal on a used Dana 44 out of a TJ and I want to swap it into mine. I currently have the stock Dana 35, a 2.5" lift and about a 3/4" t-case drop installed. I know the pinion snout is about 1" longer on the Dana 44. Will I need a new driveshaft when I swap the axle? Or can I get by with the stock shaft?
My jeep had the t-case drop installed when I bought it. I assume it was to fix driveline vibration from the lift and not just preventative. I do not notice any driveline vibration with the current setup.
At some point I may do an SYE, remove the t-case drop and put adjustable control arms on the jeep, but I'd like to avoid spending the money on that right now.
