The 44 is from an '89 metric ton Comanche. It is already set for SUA & all the brakes & lines, etc are there, but the WMS center to center is 1 inch off. The MJ is 57" and the YJ is 58", so both perches have to come off & move 1/2", but with the lift, i need the pinion angle changed. I am hoping it can be done so as to eliminate the dirt scoop drop, but i'm not getting too excited, yet. The gearing is different, but i have the matching R&P for the 30 in front, so i just have to pay for 1 diff. set-up. If i have to do much to the brakes, i think i'm just going to go with a disc conversion. They looked good 6 months ago when i got the 44, though.
This was something i was hoping to put off until after the first of the year, but oh well. At least the Jeep gods were able to let me buy the replacement axle and have it on hand for when it did break.
