What do you all think is a fair price for a TJ rear diff?
I haven't found one yet but would like to go looking soon to upgrade from the D35 and have no idea what they go for.
i paid $400 for the one in my xj some years ago then had to strip it bare and set it up with spring perches and shock mounts , as well as cost of re gearing .
Not sure on cost now , i have not seen many come up for sale on this forum and i dont miss much here.

Thanks mate.
I have been keeping an eye on the for sale with no results and the usual google searches are slim pickings so i will probably end up getting one from a wreck or wreckers.
I know there is a lot of work converting from coil to leaf but honestly I'm looking forward to that bit.
Re-gear will be easy and I've got an idea for a pretty stout truss too. Just need a starting point and hate the idea of using a Ford 8.8 cause it's Ford lol.
I did not like the idea of ford due to the narrower track as my 31`s at the time on stock wheels had bugger all clearance on the rear springs with the d35 track width , i ran the d44 on 31`s with stock rims for some time before going to 33`s and 3.75" backspace rims . i have a center with 3.55 gears for the 44 if you need one.

The loss of width was another deal breaker too.
I'll keep the centre in mind if I need it thanks. Will be going 4.11:1 when it happens.
