WTB TJ Axles - Dana 44 or Dana 44/30 Combo

I am looking for a Dana 44 preferably with 4.56 gears (4.11 second choice) for a 99 Wrangler TJ. A Detroit True-Trac LSD would be nice.

I will also need a Dana 30 with matching gearing. Open differential is ok.

I am located in St. Louis, MO but willing to drive a few hundred miles if necessary.

Thanks,

Dan

Welcome to the Z, I'm from near StL also. Stick around, check out the other forums.

Have you been to The Midwest Jeepthing ? They may have something you could use.

If you consider axles from vehicles other than a TJ, there are reputable local shops that can install the bracket kits to bolt them into your vehicle. May open up your choices.

Thanks, I'm pretty much open to any axle that can be modified to fit in a TJ.

Thanks, I talked to them about this axle today. Would neeed to regear and add a LSD. Might do that if I don't find something else quick.

Pretty much any axle can be made to work. I put a Dana 60 in my Cherokee (same brackets as a TJ) and know a guy with rockwells under his. It all depends on how much work you're willing to do or pay for.
