My current set up is 1997 Cherokee, DPG 5" hybrid lift kit(RE Drop Brackets and w/ 4.5in ZJ lift coils), 33's, D30 with Aussie Locker, stock 8.25, AA SYE,...
I got a line on a set of Dodge Ram 1500 set of axles, D44 and Chrysler 9.25 for $325 with rims and tires(stock).
From what I read so far, these axles are not the greatest D44 cause of the lack of high steer, axle shaft upgrades, and vacuum disconnect from the D44 Tech thread. The Chrylser 9.25 is a decent axle but has c-clips.
I plan on keeping the rear leafs, and doing with a Front radius arm(parallel links not like TNT's arms with an offset upper control link). Build myself a new transfer case cross member and plate the uni body from the cross member forward and tie the links mounts into the plated uni-body. Run 36in-ish tires
If i do go this route, I'm pretty sure I do the swap for fairly cheap after I sell my drop brackets, D30 w/ locker, rear axle, tires&rims from the setup i have now.
Are those axles from the worth my time/effort and money. I've been looking at craigslist and found 1ton for $900+ for a set, so the $325 for the pair sounded appealing to me.
Thanks for your time!! Happy holidays
