Dana 44 rubicon front axle
I was thinking of swapping my front dana 30 from a 2002 TJ, for a
rubicon dana 44 front diff. The only issue is the axle. Someone told
me that the axle is weak since it is acually the dana 30 inner? I know
superior axles sell the axles but they are very expensive ( around $400
per side ). Is there some other type of axle that can be used? Is the
Mopar Dana44 axle ok, some people tack weld the end caps and have other
tricks to strengthen it. I am trying to do my homework on this.
Thanks

Re: Dana 44 rubicon front axle
It's really no stronger since the D30 and D44 both share the same common
760X u-joint which is the chief strength limit. Upgrading the D30 with
hardened inner and outer Warn, Alloy USA, or Superior Axle chromolly
4340 axleshafts would give you a stronger overall axle than you'd get
with a standard D44.
