i have a 96 xj its got an 8.25 in it now and i found a d44 that i can swap in. i was wondering if the tom woods shaft i have now will work or will i have to have it altered. and if there was anything else i should know about the swap it would be helpfull.

if it is a d44 from a xj, should be a direct swap.

it should work, the pinion length is different, i think the d44 might be a little shorter i cant remember, but it shouldnt be enough to matter unless you were really maxing out your driveshaft with the 8.25
**this is if it is an xj d44**

You just said a 44 that you can swap in, you didnt specify if its an XJ 44, makes a big difference...

44 rear's all have the same pinion length. The only thing that would cause any hickups in this swap would be if the yoke is not for the same type ujoint.

if its from an 83 xj it will be the same ujoint.
Should be a direct bolt in my xj's with a 8.25 and a d44 had the same rear driveshaft length and everything.
