D30 to D44 Swap Questions

I think $600 is a bit high to ask for a stock Dana 30, unless you find someone in a bind. I did a full axle swap last year and it took about 6 months to finally sell mine, and I couldn't even get $500 for my fully loaded axles with 4.10 gears and a limited slip in the rear. Just my .02, GLWS!

I sold my front D30 for $700 after 2 days on Craigslist. I think they're easier to sell there as people are putting them on other vehicles. Mine was going under a ford ranger mud truck. Only extra mine had was sleeves. Sold the rear for $750 in about a week on the forum.
Obviously, experiences will vary.

I've installed two of the axles from him for local people. They're mopar axles, not Chinese knock-offs or anything.
The D44s used to sell for around $1200. When the JKU came out, they started selling a lot of Rubicons. Plus, people started bending and breaking axles. So, the surplus was drawn down and the price doubled. As I understand it, they have a lot of axles now and I'd guess they won't be on the new Jeep, so he probably has a source to get them at cost.
Regardless, they're legit and all OEM parts.

I think that is part of it too. He used to sell on eBay and I started posting about it last summer. I know at least 10 people who picked one up from him. I'm guessing he has plenty of people calling him these days.

You can choose the gear ratio you want. I believe he's in Ohio
