I have a good lead on a front HP D44 out of a bronco and really like the option of going up to 5.38 gears. I hava HP D30 now with swampers 34's and have never broke anything.
What are the challenges with the ford HP dana 44 in a 88 xj.
I think I will have to buy new rims, obviously bracket and spring bucket work but what else? I have otk steering now will I have to re-work that? can I weld to the Dana 44 or is it all cast? It seems like this would be a popular option any input?
I swapped in a 9" a few years ago and have been running wheel adapters to keep the same wheel bolt pattern but with the disconnect hubs that doesn't seem like an option in the front, I my pick up this matching set and sell the 9" I have spooled with 4.56's.
