'93 to present Isuzu Rodeo Dana 44 lug pattern is 6 on 5 1/2. Centered Differential. Width is 58 inches.

Spring under, 39 1/2 inches apart. Perch width is 2 1/2 inches, some have four-link brackets. Common ratio is 4:30. Perfect swap for the XJ except for the 6 lug pattern. Rods are 30 spline, as thick as any D44. You need tubing adaptors to mate standard brake lines to the metric Isuzu axle. And the Perches have to be moved. The carriers come as 'first generation' '93-'97 which have all the standard Dana 44 specs, and 'second generation' '98+, which have gears that seem thicker because they use a crush sleeve (like Corvette gears) instead of shims for pinion reload. Has a removable 3rd member and the axles are not c-clip. Besides having disc brakes,the Isuzu Rodeo 44 has a seperate drum brake for the e-brake. There are different arguments as to whether the second gen. 44 will or will not accept standard open D44 lunchbox lockers
'93-Up Isuzu Rodeo/Honda Passport Dana 44 Differential Location: Centered Lug Pattern: 6-on-5.5 Good For: At 58 inches wide it's a good swap for YJs, TJs, and XJs that came with a Dana 35 Pros: Many came with 4.30 and 4.56 gears, strong housings, disc brakes, works great on late model Wranglers when matched with '80-'91 Wagoneer Dana 44 front axle Cons: Will need to match six-lug pattern to front axle with wheel adapters or front axle swap, TJ will need link brackets located and welded in place Identified By: Will sometimes have finned cast aluminum diff cover, looks like regular Dana 44, disc brakes, flange yoke, goofy sensor/wire on top of housing

'74-79 Waggie is passenger drop.

86-91 Waggie 44 rear is centered and a good match for the Waggie front. Isuzu Rodeo/Honda passport width is also about right and the lug pattern is 6 on5.5 (not 5x5.5 as noted earlier) which matches the Waggie lug pattern.

Wagoneer 44 Stats:

-62.5 WMS to WMS (wheel mounting surface) -30 spline shafts with 297 U-joints -6 bolt but can be easily converted to 5X5.5 using Ford and Chevy parts.

-Standard Rotation -Passenger side dump -Perfect for up to 36 tires (in stock form) Years to look for Waggy front 44's: > > 75-79 are passenger side pumpkin, disk brake 62.5" WMS to WMS. These > years have the factory flat toppped knuckles Common ratios > (2.72,3.08,3.54) > 80-91 are driver side pumpkin, disk brake 62.5" WMS to WMS. Common > ratios (2.72,3.08,3.54) > > These axles are all stock 6 bolt and considered half ton. > Note: Some 80 and newer, (up till 83-84) had a vacuum disconnect for > the two piece long side shaft. -STAY CLEAR OF THESE...you will notice > the vacuum line going to the top of the pumpkin.
