Which is better?
5-90 said:Is the Dana 44 better than the D35? Unquestionably. Is the D44 better than the ChryCo 8.25"? That seems to be more a matter of opinion. However, more options (gears, lockers, &c.) are available for the D44 than for the ChryCo, so there is an advantage to the Dana...

Would you rather have IRS?

5-90 said:Kinda open-ended, don't you think? I think people have managed to stick Rockwell 2-1/2-ton axles under XJs, so it would help if you were a bit more specific. Which Dana are you pitting against which ChryCo?
As I recall, we have:
Dana 28
Dana 30
Dana 35
Dana 44
Dana 50
Dana 60
Dana 70
Dana 80
And:
Chrysler 7.25"
Chrysler 7.75"
Chrysler 8.25"
Chrysler 9.25"
Chrysler 9.75"
You forgot the best mopar rear diff. The 8 3/4. Isnt the 9 3/4 a dana 60?
