D44 swap questions

[96xjwheeler]

i was wondering if i can use my dana 35 brake lines on a d44 and if i could use the same driveshaft?

I used my Dana 35 brake line on my 44 swap, including the ones that were mounted on the axel tubes to the brakes. Everything bolted right up on mine.

I also used the same driveshaft. The good thing is more of shaft went inside the t-case so I did not have to worry about not enough of the shaft in the slip yoke.

He's not running a SYE.

Did you get the axle yet?

You will need to get new ubolts - 2.75" diameter. Where did you find your d44?

No I do not have a SYE. I guess the only good thing about the BA tranny is that it is a little shorter than the other trannys offered, meaning less angle on the driveline. Currently have 6.5" of lift.

Use caution with the slip yoke deep into the transfercase.. I've seen them shove through the case on full suspension compression.. IE: both rear sides compressed...
