UD 44 Jeep Axle Swap Do It Yourself Installation – Garage to Dirt!

This is the most comprehensive Do It Yourself How to Jeep Wrangler JK front Spicer Ultimate Dana 44 axle installation video on the entire internet!
So buckle up for a longer video but that’s because it has lots of data.
I’ll cover the basics on why I chose the Ultimate Dana44 for the front of the AutoEdits Jeep.

Then I’ll go through some of the other components like the Reid Racing knuckles… https://reidracing.biz/jk001

Plus, there’s a pretty good side by side comparison for those who think the stock Rubicon Dana 44 axle and the Ultimate 44 are exactly the same… because there are some very important differences exactly where I need them!

After that, it’s install time and I’ll take a few minutes to explain how to measure and get your axle and suspension setup dialed.
I even show the hard parts of doing a big upgrade to your rig and how to push through… removing broken bolts… dealing with the dreaded death wobble after getting a professional alignment and doing an eyeball alignment in the garage and taking it for a drive.

Here is a good resource for torque specs… there are plenty of other spots but this is a good start: https://www.extremeterrain.com/jeep-wrangler-torque-specs.html

Why no steering stabilizer?

@Kaye728 says:

Not gonna front this video was dope compared to a bunch of people who just talk about what to do instead of showing like you did . I have a Dana 30 I want to swap to 44 as well . My question is if I swap the front to 44 does the rear have to be 44 too or can it stay with the dana 30? If anyone can answer me I appreciate it.

So there is the factory DANA 44 Rubicon DANA 44 , this UD 44 and the new Fusion 44 you did in your other vidieo ? Im new to jeep and such and trying to wrap my head around the axels choices.

@markengle2199 says:

How do these compare to one tons in strength and weight. I know one tons are stronger but how much?

@calebsurpass says:

The fucking outro was legendary lmao!!! subscribed for sure, the electric guitar, spinning pull away drone shot, and just keeping the video going – awesome. Great points and walkthrough

@vendetta1306 says:

Dumbed it down rather well

@Crystal-jr7lp says:

Subbed. Awesome video.

@MrTnesmith says:

A steering stabilizer would help tremendously. I did not see one on the UD44

@Hyunckel says:

I'm buying a used one , do you think I can transport this in a car If I fold the seat ?

I wish you were my neighbor

@AustinH7 says:

Hey Jason! You’re the only person I know that had a UD44 so I was hoping you could help. Did you add gear oil to the top or bottom fill plug? I did the top then at the next change I did the bottom. I’m having gear oil leaking out the top breather hose. I add 2 quarts of 75w140

@patrickbyles7235 says:

hi! it is normal if i think the dana 44, don't look that big in diameter?

@v8felon says:

nice but arb offers 35 spline center that D60 size!

@AustinH7 says:

Finally installing mine as I write this comment! So excited to get that old Dana 30 out!
