Ok so I'm swaping axles on the old cherokee and I'm pretty set on running a front LP Dana 44 out of a FSJ with Ford hubs and 5x5.5 lug pattern. Now the tricky part is finding a mathcing rear axle. The Front is 60" WMS to WMS and 5x5.5 so the rear needs to be close. I have found a LP Dana 44 out of a Scout II which is 60" WMS to WMS and 5x5.5, 30 spline for $100 drum to drum. The only other axle I can think of is a 9inch out of an Early Bronco which is about 59" WMS to WMS and 5x5.5 but it is 28 spline and about $250 Drum to Drum. I know the 9inch can be upgraded but I'm trying to keep the costs down and custom axles are not in the mix right now, plus I have a 28 spline Detroit for the 9inch. At this point I'm leaning towards the scout axle just because it is cheap and has a ton aftermarket stuff availble. How will the 44 hold up in the rocks with 35's and a full body (ie more weight than a chopped rig.) Or is there another axle I'm not thinking of with close to a 60" WMS to WMS and 5x5.5 Wheel Pattern. Thanks for any help.
