Stopped by the local Jeep dealer to check pricing on front and rear 44's for the possible swap.They said in the ballpark of about 1900.00 for both(minus shipping).
Them not knowing and me not sure-they popped off several different measurements(in mm) I told them I would come back with better approach. Which axles or part numbers has anyone come up with.
I have a 00 TJ 30/35,stock driveline w/ 4" lift.(4.0)
If anyone could help-thanks

im sure u have to cut the new axles brackets off and weld on tj ones oh i think i read some were the jks lug pattern if different also. i thought about that approach but then started thinking about even better, bulit proof. 44 front and 9inch rear and dana 300 transfer case to top it off.

i have the same jeep you have minus 1 inch lift i only have 3inches of lift.

my swap will be roughly with axles, front and rear lockers will be around 2500.00 plus im getting my axles from the junkyard and goin through em which you wont have to do.

yeah,i really dont know which route i want to take--but i do know that if i went the 44/9 route i could easily get those from the treasure yard and also extra shafts and other backups alot cheaper(in the long run)so i think?     thanks for the input

it can be confusing all the different choices out there when you think about it. then adding wheels, gears, lockers tires.
