Dana 44 Price!
I am looking at a used dana 44 housing that has a riddler diff cover is sleeved and trussed and comes with rcv shafts. The guy is asking $1600. Just wondering if this is a good price. Thanks

It is out of a JK, correct? Would the owner object to you're running it by a shop to verify that it isn't bent? Just the parts you mentioned, or is it complete with gears and locker?

There are reports of people bending housings with sleeves or trusses installed. And other reports of people adding gussets to keep already bent c's (or what they assume are bent c's from an out of spec camber) from bending further.
You are a fabricator and likely have a good sense of what you are looking at, but would you really advise people without your experience to just hand over $1600, rather than spend a little time checking it out, maybe driving to a shop and sliding an alignment bar in? I know I wouldn't.
