will dana 35 brakes work with dana 44 axle

i have a dana 44 from an XJ i'm swapping into my TJ that has a d35. the build sheet i got says i have ABS. will the brakes from my d35 work with the d44?



Assuming it's your TJ's build sheet that shows ABS, you'll have to disable the ABS unless the donor XJ had ABS, which I doubt. Or you could get tone rings installed on the 44's axles.

Why remove the ABS when you can just pull the fuse?

okay ditching the ABS is not a huge deal for the time being. i can always get it to work later on if i feel i really need it.

moving on, any suggestions on how to get the tj d35 brakes to fit on the xj's d44?

Thanks Jerry! it's just that mr. hughes made a good point. nothing personal to you at all. i guess we'll find out for sure if they work or not when the time comes! i got all my stuff on order and it should be here in a couple of weeks. let you all know how it goes!

thanks for the replies!
