jeep Tj rear Axles

[uniuckychucky]

After Reading alot of the Jeep Tj they came out with a rear Dana 35 it is said to be the worst rear axles ever to be put in the back of a 4wd well i only recently found that my TJ has a Dana 44 in the rear which is really rare when i ask some Americans but this is one of the greatest things i ever found out about my jeep because i was so worried pushing 33x12.50 Claws on a 35. So if anyone else has a Jeep Tj check if you have a Dana 35 or Dana 44 because I dont no if I am really lucky or all the Jeeps in Australia have 44s.
The dana 35 looks like a Oval while the 44 has a point at the bottom. The Dana 44 can hold up to maximum 35" tires while a 35 can hold up to 31" as it says in my 4wding Bible

Pour XJ & ZJ drivers they've got the Dana 35 as standard.
, and yes I broke a couple of axles in mine on 31's.

Well that's good to no everywhere I found even arb said that they had 35s so I wasn't sure if mine was just lucky or everyone has one

Dana 44 s are prized after as upgrades to the XJ & ZJ.
I solved my problem with a 60

Generally the blokes at most ARB stores know SFA about Jeeps.
ALL TJ's in Australia (unless privately imported or swapped out aftermarket) have the D44 rear. Most also have the crappy 3.07 ratio - whereas in the US a D44 meant 3.73 rstios.
