Hey sorry I have been really busy I will call you tomorrow to see what I can do to help.

Yes, go see McNees.

Pipe..... Way to cut corners. Listen to Meat and go see Gaylon.

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Imagine that! Oops! I mean..... yeah whatever. Hahaha!

If you do this your going to need the tool to set the carrier preload and backlash.

You will need the pinion height for your application with the RJ so if you can go with that. As for a SF 60 rear that's easy unless you want 8 lug. But pinion height is important for your application.

BTW. I'm 99% sure it's not the u-joints. It's bearings in the rear end.

Your not going to find a Dana BOM # on that axle. There should be a smaller tag on the diff cover with the ratio. If your getting a rumble under accel. it's going to be a carrier bearing, it's going to be best if you do all the bearings now. I have seen lots of 8 1/4 diffs with limited slips...

I have an SF 60 in my buggy and it's fine. I have put that thing through hell and the splines haven't started twisting yet.

If you can get your hands on Rock jock 60 do it. But being that it came out of a fullsize beware of the width. Happy trails!!

Why don't you run bigger tires if your upgrading your axles? Why are you asking this, didn't you ask the same question with the other post?

Sounds like it's gone rotten better throw it away!

That's exactly what I'm saying. Your not in my eyes gaining anything you don't already have. A D44 is a D44 and if your not to hard on stuff it will be fine. But the more capable you make your Jeep the more stress you put on your drivetrain, that's always what I have experienced and seen. Good...

It's about 67"-68" wms to wms if I'm not mistaken.

If I were you I would just save up till you can swap some real D60's in. Your talking about alot of work and mods for something you already have in the front. And not to mention Ford D60 rear ends out of 70's trucks almost always have spun carrier bearings in the housings.
