D35 to D44?
Hey guys so i have a 1997 xj sport with a 3.55 D35 rear end and I'm sitting on 30" wheels. Im planning on buying a used D44 rear and keeping it as a project for the next couple months until i buy 33" tires. Im pretty new to most of this stuff but I'm starting to get a little bit of an understanding through a bunch of research and what not. Anyway, the D44 I'm looking at came out of a ****** wagoner has 4.27 gear ration, 5 lug, 11" drums, measures 57" from outside wheel surface to the other, and the driveline is 2" off-center. I just would like to know how compatible this sounds and any other overall advise as this would be my first axle swap.
