I have a d44 that came out of a mj or xj, can't remember which, but it is now in my tj. I am trying to replace the brakes but i need to find the metal link that goes between the wheel cylinder and the brake shoe. The ones on this rear are rusted pretty bad. I have found some on 4wd hardware but they say they fit the 10x1-3/4" set up and i have the 10x2.5" set up. Will they work or are they different? Have not found these things anywhere else. Thanks

yeah!...I just rebuilt my D44 drum brakes with all new raybestos parts from RockAuto.com. You can go to this link to get the parts for that axle: RockAuto Parts Catalog
This is the D44 10"x2.5" drums hardware kit. including parts for both axles, part #H7028 for $6.60.

The 10"x1.75" is for the D35 IIRC. Is this the set of parts you need? or the brake wheel cylinder:

Oh thats the part that sticks out of the wheel cylinder and presses against the shoes, right? Have you checked on the RockAuto.com site for it? They usually have the best prices and tell you what you need for sure. But about the piece you need I'm not sure if the D35 one would work for the D44 one.
