Yes i have done my research and found many threads on building a front d44 for the XJ.
The part that i have a question on is since i dont have any of the tools needed,, what would a ballpark figure be on the labor alone???
You see,, im at the crossroads of completing a fully built d30. The only thing it needs is a set of chromolys, maybe a truss, and to swap out the aussie for an arb.
All those parts alone are alot of $$ into a HP d30, SO im flirting with the idea to sell the d30 (which is in excellent condition), and build a d44.
SO, paying a shop to clean it up and weld on the hardware to fit it in my XJ would be around $$ (a guess is al i need)?? And do they make adaptors so i can keep my 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern????
Ofcourse then i can figure in the costs for chromolys, an arb, 4.88's, steering & trac.
