I cannot find the link anymore to the tech article written by Farmer Matt on his early bronco dana 44/ford 9" swap into an xj. Does anyone know where I can find it?
I'm looking at swapping in a early bronco dana 44 into my 91' xj and need some info on how to make it work. I know it has drum brakes and small 260 u-jointed axles that I need to swap out, but what can anyone tell me on how it fits up front and if I should use the Ford radius arm setup or cut these off. I currently have a hp dana 30 with an arb, 4.56 gears, a 297 u-jointed non-disco axles. Will the dana 44 be much of an upgrade for me over what I have in the hp dana 30 with 297 u-jointed axles? Please advise.
thanks...Troy
