I recently picked up a D44 axle off an ’87 XJ with 3.55 gears. I am running 4.56 gears right now, so I will need to upgrade the D44 carrier before I regear it.
Can I just buy the 3.92 & up carrier and reuse the spider gears and pin from the old axle? Or do I need to get a new carrier AND spider gears, cross pin, etc.
Also, are all carriers made equal? I’m seeing lots on Ebay for ~$65, but I don’t want to buy a piece. Any brand suggestions?
