Dana Conversion Help!

[R3con99TJ]

I have found a rear Dana 44 that was previously used with leafs. I need to convert it to run coils...Can anyone tell me what im getting myself into???

You need to get all the TJ coil brackets welded to the D44: coil buckets, control arm mounts, swaybar mounts, trackbar mount, shock mounts.

Look here at part #9700, it may work for you depending on how your axletube diameter compares to the 8.8, and how much you like grinding :wink:

they make the kit at rubiconexpress.com ther about 300 bucks for the complete kit per axle. not too bad but if u can live with out your jeep for a few weeks take out your old axle and bring the d44 and your jeep axle to a shop and they can measeur and weld all that together for you. thats what im in the process of doing after i get my pinion done rite hehehe :roll:

i would suggest taking it to a shop.... even if you are a confident welder and measurement maker... it would likely be a better choice to take it to someone who does it all the time, and who can align it properly

That is a good idea.You dont want to be crab walking down the road.But then again, none of us know how good you are with tools and measurements
