axles in an 87 ram charger? - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

I'm looking at a fairly good deal in an 87 ram charger and I'm wondering what axles it has. I searched, but only found listings for newer models...are they the same? D44 and 9.25?

Thanks for the help!

If it's a 1/2 ton, most likely the D44 8.5 front and 9.25 rear.

yes you are correct, i have an 87 R/C and i have the dana 44 front and the 9.25 rear. they are both good axles but it is kinda hard o find lockers and lower gear sets for the 9.25.
