2000 TJ Rear Dana 35C to Dana 44 Swap
 

Hi,

Want to change the rear in my 2000 TJ from a Dana 35C with 3.73 to a Dana 44
with 3.73 and trac-loc. The Dana 44 going in is from a 2002 TJ. Is this a
one-for-one r/r or are there other items that need to be swapped (drive
shaft, control arms, shocks, other? ). Would like to be able to start this
change know that I have everything needed to finish.

Thanks,
MJ

I would bet the only thing to change would be the driveshaft,
because the 44's pinion is longer.

It's a direct bolt-in, nothing changes. Trackbar, anti-swaybar, shocks,
etc. all bolt to the D44 without mods. Since your TJ is likely lifted, that
the longer-nosed Dana 44 normally would need a slightly shorter driveshaft
is negated. If your TJ is lifted, the slightly longer driveshaft of the
Dana 35c equipped TJ will be perfect for the new Dana 44.

Might I add if your TJ has ABS, you will have to disable it as ABS was not
available on a factory Dana 44.
