What will i need to swap the D35 for a D44? does the stock XJ d44 use a 1310 Yoke? will my d35 rear driveshaft work?

Am i able to swap the disc brakes off a d44a to a XJ D44?

as far as the discs, crown victoria if you dont care about ebrake, explorer if you do.
the yokes, and driveshaft lengths are ok when used w/ little lift, at higher heights you may need to lengthen your driveshaft. (sye-ville anyways)

All Jeep XJ axles are 1310 yokes.

The D44a disc brakes are just common ZJ disc brakes, so you would need to follow the same procedure for the ZJ swap.

What year XJ do you have? If you have a late model, you will need to use the cables off your Jeep, not the old ones.

The nose of a D44 is about 1" longer than a D35. In most situations the shaft will work fine but check how far the driveshaft sticks in the tcase and make sure it isn't binding.
