I can't remember if I already posted this or not. If I did, I've been away for a while and didn't get a chance to read the replies. I've got a Ford 8.8" rearend for my jeep (not installed yet) and am looking for something comparable to the 8.8" for the front. I will eventually be running 35's. Any suggestions? Thanks.[addsig]

dana 44 front axle should do the trick[addsig]

Check out a D44 from a FSJ (Full-size Jeep) like a Wagoneer or Grand Wagoneer. Some are pass. side diff, but you want driver's side. Check WMS (Wheel Mounting Surface) to WMS and see how closely it matches the 8.8 axle. The lug pattern is different than the 5x4.5" found on the stock axles and the 8.8, so you'll have to address that issue.[addsig]
