I know this because I put a 9 inch in my YJ and I had to use the e-brake cables from an XJ for extra length. Hopefully you have enough lift to keep the back of the 9 inch from smashing the front of your gas tank. NothernAZxj 05-08-2002, 02:20 PM I measured a 9" ana my dana44....the 9" is about 1" shorter Jes 05-08-2002, 03:02 PM Tired of the leaky and bent D44 huh? Did you see MJR's(the white woody) custom 9" while we were at JV? Pretty sweet axle. Jes NothernAZxj 05-08-2002, 03:29 PM got the axle all fixed, just a bent axle shaft....go figure......yeah a 9" has about 1/2" better ground clearance too. although the 44 is a sweet axle forthe XJ... By the way welcome to POR NEWBIE!
