Dana 44 4.09 ring gear thickness
Hi,
Can anyone tell me the thickness (ie. height when laid flat) of a
standard rotation Dana 44 4.09 ring gear?
Also, does anyone know the height of a 'thick' 4.09 ring gear such as
you'd find in a Jeep Rubicon rear end? The thick gear fits numerically
lower carriers with the deeper mounting flange.
Thanks,
Steve

Re: Dana 44 4.09 ring gear thickness
I am not sure where you are going with this, but a 4.09 for a 44 is a
4.09... there is no thick or thin version. They (ring gear) have to be
matched to the pinion and carrier... there is no mix/match strategy.

Re: Dana 44 4.09 ring gear thickness
Hi Jim,
That's the way I've learned it, except Steve here, pointed me to
this no name manufacturer making a thicker ring gear. I guess hoping to
sell it to TJ buyers that mistakenly bought the 3.73s and it's carrier:
http://www.ring-pinion.com/about/4.8...hlightsweb.pdf I
wouldn't buy it unless someone like Richmond made it.

Re: Dana 44 4.09 ring gear thickness
Jeep Rubicons come from the factory with thick 4.09 ring gears
(presumably Dana Spicer) to fit their 3.73-sized air lockers. I have a
Rubicon locker that's going in my XJ Dana 44 as soon as I get some gears.
I've got a line on a used Dana Spicer 4.09 set with a 1.6875" ring gear.
I have a 3.54 gear for reference that is 1.4375" deep. Accounting for
the flange height difference at the carrier break, I'm guessing that the
4.09 may indeed be 'thick'. Just want to be sure.
If anyone knows the height of a non-thick 4.09 ring gear, it would help
me confirm.
