| Post subject: | Rear Dana 44 Swap |
Anyone ever swap a Dana 44 into the rear of their Liberty? Looking for something with better gearing and locker options. Wondered what kind of work swapping to a Dana 44 would be. Thinking shock and spring mounts would have to come off the 8.25, and the top diff housing mounts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

If you are to swap the rear end you might as well ditch the boomerang and design a proper 4 links system with more suspension travel...... Now you need to do something about the front as well, SFA would be great !! |

Oh there are loads of options for the Dana 44. But you’re probably right in with the idea of ditching the wishbone and going to a true 4 link. On the SFA…. Should have don’t that when I put the lift on. Ended up waiting a LONG time for the parts anyway. Only thing is I don’t have a proper shop to do that work. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
