MJ's and XJ's also came with D44's but can often be hard to find and are usually expensive because everyone is looking for them. You could probably find a stronger Ford 8.8 (bigger ring gear & 31 spline shafts) easier and for WAY less money (picked up my 8.8 out of a 99 explorer complete brake caliber to brake caliber for $75 bucks) plus you get the added benefits of rear disc brakes if you pick one up out of a 95+ explorer. Also with your leaf spring suspension all you have to do is weld the leaf pads in the right place and get a adapter flange so you can keep your existing drive shaft ($40 bucks Spicer P/N 2-2-1379) and you're good to go. On a side note the 8.8 is 5/8" narrower per side than your existing WMS-WMS so you'll need some spacers. Also forgot to add that the 8.8 comes with 3.55's, 3.73's or 4-10's. Hope this helps...

The 8.8 is not a direct bolt on. A used 44 from a same year or near is a direct bolt on.

It is IF he follows the advice I gave <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> plus it's a cheaper & stonger alternative...
