I m going to be picking up my recently purchased Dana 44 this weekend and i need to know which driveshaft i need to run. Do i run the stock 35 or the stock 44. My jeep is a 90 auto 242 with an 87 dana 44 to be put in.
Thanx for any info, Digger

D44 pinion is about 3/4in longer than the D35 pinion. Keep that in mind....

You may have to have your DS shortened.

If you have both, what's the problem? Is it too hard to change a drive shaft?

My XJ came with a 44 rear and one of my parts jeeps came had a 35 rear, when I lifted my jeep (6") I used the D35 shaft for the extra length to get the spline engagement on the output shaft I needed.

Just as Chuck D. said, is it really that hard to swap a driveshaft?
