Is there a "bolt in" Dana 44 for YJs?
Ok, so I did some searching and came up with nothing. So I'll just ask here. Are there companies or someone that sells dana 44s already set up to be put in a YJ? With the shock mounts and stuff already welded into place? I would love to do an axle upgrade but not really handy with a welder, and thinking about just kinda being lazy about it and buy one thats already set up for me . . . just a thought, sorry if it's stupid.

a 78/79 ford f250 d44 is bolt in for the yj, but they are full width, so it would be 3 1/2" wider on each side. you can cut down the tubes to match the size, but it sounds like you don't really want to do ANY fab work.

off-road shops would build "turn-key" axles. they'll cost you a pretty penny though.

It's not that i don't want to do any work. I just have no clue what to do, and I don't have any jeep friends that could help me . . .

no,they are a different setup. i know 0k4wd and other companies sell already setup 8.8's to bolt into a yj, but they are crazy expensive.

yes, but only for the front. the rear is not bolt in.
there are no real junk yard bolt ins for the rear of a yj, but cutting and welding new perches is not hard at all. there are plenty of write-ups around for you to follow. and if you don't know how to weld, you can have the welding done by your local welding shop, or even find a fellow jeeper in your area, that will help you out.
