I presently have a Chevy D44 axle mounted on my Jeep.
Here's a list of parts that I'm using:
- steering box from 1990 Jeep Cherokee
- pitman arm from 1990 Cherokee
- drag link from 1980 Cherokee/Wagoneer
- cross link from 1980 Cherokee/Wagoneer
- driver's side tie rod end from 1980 Chevy 4x4
The key to all of this is the passenger side knuckle of the axle. It has to be a flat top knuckle.
You have to drill, tap and screw in mounting studs for a new (aftermarket) steering arm (like
this one).
If you are interested, I could snap a couple of photos of the setup.
This page has some photos of the high steer knuckle setup.
