Dana 44 batwing alternative
Heres some food for thought for those of you who are considering a Dana 44 swap into your C4 . I have an adapter plate that allows you to use a D 36 batwing on a D 44......an added benefit is the strength that it adds to the case of the 44 being a 6061 bulkhead to keep the case from spreading

I meant to actually post to this thread and it looks like I ended up in the "C4 parts area" where you've offered them for sale! It requires "thought"!!
I had considered moving those thoughts to this thread but since they've been there for a few hours I'd say there's really not much need to move them.
It won't win any engineering awards but you seem to have "flogged" yours pretty good judging from your comments in the "for sale" post and maybe that's the "testament" to it's value!
It certainly is an "alternative"!!

Neat idea.
I'm also into Jeeps and have a TJ Rubicon. I'm surprised that
no one has taken a steel diff cover for the conventional D-44
and added control arms and spring mount for the Vette D-44 pumpkin.
I know that bolting on steel where aluminum used to be is counter
intuitive on a Vette, but it could be one more option.
