Kirk the problem with the TJ dana 44 is the basically just welded Dana 30 inner C's to a dana 44 housing, so other than the housing u dont really gain any strength, and they are super expensive to get from a junkyard and typically they want ur old axle for a core. just my $.02 from when i looked into do that, so for what ur going to spend u could build a way more awesome axle for about a grand cheaper.

There are more parts out there to build the D44 stronger, like weld in inner sleeves and I believe they are 29 spline which is stronger.  For the cost, it is probably not worth it, but if I found one in a pick-n-pull for cheap I would pull it in a heart beat.

How much did u find it for i may be interested.
2000 XJ Sport 6.5 inch TNT Longarms, 36" IROK Radials, HP dana 30, Ford 8.8 aussie locker, 4.10s, front bumper with stinger and 9500 mile maker winch, Rock Sliders, OBA. full exo cage, chopped.
