I'm pretty sure that in the 80 model and newer waggy's they used an AMC 20 rear.

The 87 has a drivers side drop front 44 with a perfectly centered rear 44. 87 and newer used the dana 44 axles, 80-86 used the amc 20. They are 6 lug axles. I used an 87 rear 44 in my cj8 and they work well. The rear is 58.5 inches wide where an XJ 44 is 60 1/4 wide (if you were planning on swapping them into an XJ).

I don't know if it had D44s front and rear, but I know this statement is not true. The '80 Waggy I got my front D44 from had a rear centered D44. AMC did enough weird stuff I wouldn't 100% rely on it having any particular axles until you see it.

I own an '87 Grand Wagoneer and it has drivers side drop low pinion D44 front w/ spring under and a D44 rear w/ spring over and 6x5.5 bolt pattern.

Ditto.

In 1987, the Wagoneer was a top-line XJ, with the same D30 front axle as all XJs and either a D35 or a D44 rear axle.

If you're referring to the full-size vehicle, in 1987 that would have been a Grand Wagoneer.

If he is talking about the Xj wagoneer, it should also have a HP 30 w/o the vacum disconnect. The only problems I know of with them besides the insane amount of vacum and emision tubing is the injectors like to leak, the pcv system barley worked, and the power window motors tend to go bad at the most inconvient time.

How much is 5200 cdn.... that sounds kinda high to me.
