Dana 44 and 9 Inch rear in 89 Bronco 2

[bubbaracer]

I have an 89 Bronco 2 that i just bought a dana 44 axle out of an 87 or 88 f250 for $25 and I was wondering if this would work in the swap. I am am going to buy a ford 9 inch rear axle also. I was wondering how hard is this swap? Has anybody done it and what problems have you ran into? Im just looking for some info on the swap i dont know where to start. If anybody knows what parts i am going to need or conversion kits, type of springs, about the driveshafts, or other things needed for the swap. any information will be helpful and thank you. If there was this question already asked just post the URL and ill read the whole post i just couldnt find anything on my own.

Search for your info, its been done many of times. I would use a full width 8.8 instead of a 9". They use the same axle splines, but the 8.8 has a higher pinion than the 9, which is what you will need with such a short wheelbase. I also suggest pushing the rear axle back a couple inches to help with driveshaft angle...

The search function on this site sucks. You can try the "google custom search" button at the upper right of the page, it seems to bring back better results.
