D44 swap and stock driveline

Heres the deal. I have a 90 XJ with the 242 T-case and a D35. I will be going to find a D44 this weekend and need to know what else will be needed with it. The XJ also has a 4.5" lift, I did a search and found mixed results as far as driveshaft lengths ect.


Any help would be appreciated

thanks

If you need it, the driveshaft is $11.50 according to the Lynnwood Pull-A-Part price list.

ok. IIRC... when i bashed the D/shaft in my 87 last summer.. it has the D44 and 242 t/case.. the stock shaft measures approx 30".. i'm relying on memory but i'm pretty sure.. a shaft from a 231/D35 combo is just shy of 32" (once again this is memory) i plan to use one of those when i lift in the spring.. i'm fairly sure that wont interfere but i won't know for sure until i slap it in.... if you figure this out let us know..

I did pretty the same thing you are talking about. I have an 89 w/ 242, and it had a D35. I also have a 4.5" RE lift. I swapped in a D44, and had no issues. It has been in since May 03, and I have wheeled it 4 or 5 times, no problems. HTH
