Zibi Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 It doesn't mean anything on any rig so long as your tcase and axle match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packie88 Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 yes with enough money and time anything can be done. but for cost effectiveness and easiness of install going with a driver drop is way easier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
885SPD Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 If you wait long enough, trail-gear is coming out with front drivers side and passenger side axle housings! Their rear is pretty cheap and works well, can't wait for the front! Also ruffstuffspecialties has a new housing for 9", toyota and super 14, but no ends are available yet, there are many available from other sources though.

packie88 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 yea trail gear is coming out with new axle housing but they are way to narrow. the rear is coming in at 51 3/8 inches and out rear is 59 even if you get the rear with the +2 inches on it its only going to be 53 3/8 no where near wide enough for the pathy but would work great for a sami Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rear they have is IFS plus 2" which is 63" wide! The front will match! A waggy front is 63"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packie88 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 pathy is 59. and a waggy front is 61. the rear they have stats its 51 3/8 so a plus two would be 53 3/8 right. so the rear is to small Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteeevO Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 I don't have a final cost on the axle but you're right it's not going to be cheap, but it will be good. I may have Trail-Gear make some H233B fronts but for right now it diamond all the way. TG seemed interested in it when i last talked to them in august last year.

slade420 Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 this is probably a dumb question, but has anyone used a chev dana 44 for their SAS? waggys are really hard to find around here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mauitrailguy Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Does anyone have a legitimate rwason why a D30 with leafs or a 3 link wouldn't work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zibi Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Because if you're going to go to the trouble and expense of putting a straight axle in, why would you put a D30 in? If you want to run anything bigger than 33s you'll just keep breaking axles, and you can run 33s with the IFS. If you're going to spend the money and time, you might as well put something good up there that will last and stand up to abuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87pathy Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Does anyone have a legitimate rwason why a D30 with leafs or a 3 link wouldn't work by the time you make a D30 capable of running a 35" tire reliably, you can buy a 44, or have a good down payment for a D60. Just not worth it. if your dead set on it, make sure you its at least a HP model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mauitrailguy Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Okay...I got a D30 for free I figured if i did the gears right like 5.37 in the rear and 5.38 in the front it would work out well. If not to serious of a crawler and if i got my hands on a D44 i could do the swap from the D30 To the D44 prety easy...just my thinking....Thanks for the advice ill keep it in mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would sell it to a jeep guy and save the money for a D44 sombody else asked about a Chevy front end for a nissan..Answer is NO. the pumpkin is on the wrong side.

headpeace Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 quick question, will a D44 from a 98 JGC be good for a front axle? There is a local CL post for one for $50, good deal? I only know enough about SAS for my mental flag to say "$50 is a good deal". Enlighten me experts....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
