Nope. They're thick cut, not standard gears.

[mike4089]

so what other gears from diffrent axles can i use???

[tufcj]

The Dana 44 was standard under the front of pre-1976 Chevy Blazers and 1/2-tons, solid front-axled F-150s and Broncos, and Jeep J-10/J-20s and Grand Wagoneers.

someone said i could use the rubicon thick cut gears with a high geared carrier and it will work...anyone ever heard that???

[jeepsr4ever]

The gears are indeed thick. I don not know without further investigating but their are specific thick gears to work with other carriers (ie 4.56 to work with a 3.73 and down carrier)

[mike4089]

what if i just get the whole insides from the rubicon carrier and all??

[jeepsr4ever]

Different bearing diameters

I believe that you can use the Rubicon "Thick cut" gears on the typical "3 series" carrier, BUT they also have the bigger ring gear bolts that the Dana 60 uses so you'd have to drill out the bolt holes also.
I've got two sets here that may find there way into my Scout?

Why not just check Ebay for a set of 4.10s? Or, just get new ones. They're what, $120?

I'm NO fan of used gearsets.

X2 - you've already spent more time trying to find these gears than a phone call to Randy's would have taken to get a complete set of NEW gears with set up bearings!!

[mike4089]

whats Randy's and are there prices pretty good???
