I have a '97 TJ sport. My brother gave me two dana 44 axles from his 1972 Scout II (rear and front). The question I have is: How hard is it to swap the Dana 30/35's from my current jeep and put these on. Are there any resources on the internet which show how to do this swap. Are the dana 44 I have too wide and would I have to narrow them? or other way around? FYI, my shop has a TIG welder a large lathe and a bridgeport mill., I have access to a MIG welder as well. So, I have metalworking experiance - hobbiest for the last 7 years, so I am not affraid of making brakets and welding them on, however I need to know if this project is worth the time or are there better dana 44 axles out there. Basically I can do farbrication , but this will be my first jeep project. Any help is appreciated. Lastly, I plan on offroading and since I got these two axles I would not mind putting them on to my jeep.
