JK axles on a Tj - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

dyepntballr · 02-16-2010, 02:38 PM

i found a guy in New York who is selling a dana44 and dana30 w/ 4.10 gears off a 2007 jk, and i was wanting to know if they will fit on a 2004 tj

Negative..

dyepntballr · 02-16-2010, 02:47 PM

why wont they? would it take a lot of modding?

All the brackets are different. You might be able to use a couple but I think almost all of them have to be moved. Unless you designed a suspension around them. And the bolt pattern is different, and they are wider. And when all the hardcore guys get here, you are going to hear something about bacon and or it's Tuesday.

I dont care if its TUE, but i do love bacon.

If you cant even read the rules to know your posting in the wrong section, I doubt you could even swap "bolt on axles" ......

And why the fawk do you want to put a D30 in even if it was free.

THIS IS A QUESTION FOR NON-HARDCORE.

my bad about posting in the wrong area. im jus interested in the d44. my origional plan was just to put 4.56s in the tj and be done with it but i know in the future ill be going to a 44 and this one came up and already had the 4.10 gears aleady in it plus for the price the 30&44 were cheeper then me just putting new gears in my tj

Go ask the question in Non-Hardcore and then go back to pbnation.

geberhard · 02-17-2010, 01:00 PM

It can be done, but figure about another $250 in brackets per axle. I had a JK rera axle on a TJ, and kept front TJ with adapters to match the wheel pattern in the rear and width.

Both axles are stronger than TJ axles (30 and 44), so not a bad way to go if you are getting a good deal. the front JK axle housing is debatable as far as strength.

if you do not care about being a bit wider not an issue

yjjeepster · 02-17-2010, 01:04 PM

Bolt patterns did change so you will need adapters or new rims as well.

no debate about it. The front JK30 is a POS in stock form

geberhard · 02-17-2010, 02:56 PM

yep, I have only seen 44front cracs so far, maybe the 309 gang is not beating them up yet too hard

Never Monday · 02-17-2010, 03:18 PM

it's the same 2.5x.250 tube, just longer....the TJ's had a bad problem with them bending....the JK will be worse.

geberhard · 02-17-2010, 04:03 PM

On the Jk's I saw two with actual cracs, not bends. I believe there are some pics posted around here on the front 44's, looks almost like cast..

Never Monday · 02-17-2010, 04:05 PM

I've never touched a JK44, don't know.
I guess it's posible they got some quality Chinese steel for a batch of tubes.

Resurrection as I am starting this swap in a few weeks to give my TJ dana 44 front and rear
