Sooo, what is the going rate for D44's?

Waggy 44's will work under my YJ, right?

I would just have to have someone weld new perches on.

I found these:

I'm running a Waggy 44 in the front of my YJ.

If I am remembering correctly. I paid about $250 for my front one from a junk yard.

But also remember you'll have some cost rebuilding them and bringing them back up to snuff. Figure on new bearings, brakes and rotors and such. My brake lines bolted right up to the Chevy calipers that were there. Probably ought to think about ball joints and wheel joints too in the front axle.

What year are those from, the rear appears to be off-set, maybe pre-1980?

Have to ask on the year. He's asking $275 for both.

Good deal?

Thanks.

Oh, and I would probably just gather the parts and slowly put them together over the next year and wouldn't actually put them under it until next summer.

Well like I said I paid $250 for my front waggy 44 from a junk yard. I didn't really have the time to search for a deal. I don't think what I paid was too much, not necessarily a screaming deal either, but I felt the $250 I paid was fair.

You'll obviously have to track down some new wheels too for the 6 on 5.5 bolt pattern.
