Dana 44?

[Bill_T]

2007 Nismo cc 2/wd with locking rear diff. Dana 44 or not, if so my gear options are any rp for a dana 44 right ?

[mustard23]

it's a Dana44 in name only it's an m226 nothing from a Dana44 fits it.

So what options do I have as far as gearing, I was planning a Fabtech lift 35's etc.... how low of a gear ratio is available 3.90's 4.10's?

[mustard23]

as of right now none.. I ran 35s for a couple months and ditched them 'cause of gearing. It's the same rear axel as the Titan's and they have no gears as of yet, there are 2 compaines sayign they will have titan gears out in a few months, but both are don't have any plans for frontier front gears you best bet is to swap a titan fron diff in, they fit, and are stronger then our weak front ones, not sure if they will work with thit the fabtech lift but if you plan on wheeling it the fabtech lift isn't any good. Swaping the titan front dif and control arms will get you 12 inch of travel, and 3 inch of lift put fiberglass on and you can run 35s. SLR had a lift that worked with the titan swap but he went out of busness.

no i went back to 33's I was gettign abotu 10mpg and had to shift in to 4lo to climb small hills. Hills that stock truck in 2wd could make up no problem, with the titan gears you can run 5.13 once they make them.

yeah, there are NO gear options out.

only way to get gears would bt to get a Ford 9" or a real D44. and that requires some custom work.

I currently run 33's and you notice a little power loss. Granted i have the LE and we have a lower gear ratio than the m226, SO maybe with the m226 you won't notice such a dramatic change in power.

it's looked cooler with 35s



back to 35s



and this is the SLR kit with 36's

also our axle shafts will fit in a dana 60 so if you cut it to fit you can our axels and keep the bolt patern and save some money, if your not worried about wight.

yeah 35s do make it look beefier =)

Stupid Nissan is advertising it as a dana 44 yet nothing made for actual dana 44's works in our diffs. It pisses me off that they made it their own so that leaves everyone stuck with the stock crap.
