Is it possible to use the c clip axles out of a dana 44 to make a super 35 axle.
they are both c clips but the 44 is 30 spline. If I got the 30 spline set up than comes with the super 35 kit could I use the axles

dana 44's are NOT c clip, and the 35 is not worth building

i would check the axle widths, you could buy super 35 shafts pretty cheap if you search but i would suggest finding a 29 spline 8.25 axle or a d44, what size tires are you running?

X2. You will still have a small ring gear, little pinion, and flimsy axle tubes.

Do it right the first time around. You could always get a D35x2-10.

even if you upgrade the shafts you still got a weak housing, wich you could truss, then your stuck with a waek R&P wich theres no upgrade there, in the end you will have spent enough money that you could of had a locked and geared 8.25/D44/8.8

I am confused, do you mean they switched the aluminum center section? Those ZJ 44's had steel tubes,aluminum center section and a Steel cover, and c-clip axles. The WJ's had aluminum center, steel axles, steel cover and bolt-in axles. If I remember right. So what exactly do you have?
