Differential Carrier Dana 44

The Differential Carrier Dana 44 with Traction-Lok from DANA - SPICER is a purpose-built differential carrier assembly designed for Jeep Dana Super 44 axle systems. This 30-spline, 10-bolt cover steel carrier delivers the locking differentials and torque distribution characteristics essential for serious off-road recovery, rock crawling, and high-traction applications where wheel slip must be minimized across uneven terrain.

Constructed from durable steel in natural finish, this carrier weighs 21.15 lbs and features the Traction-Lok limited-slip design, which automatically distributes power to the wheel with the most grip during acceleration and cornering. The 30-spline interface ensures secure engagement with Dana Super 44 axle shafts, while the 10-bolt cover configuration maintains compatibility with stock and upgraded axle housings. The compact dimensions (8.4 × 8.1 × 8.4 inches) integrate seamlessly into existing Dana 44 installations without requiring frame modifications.

This carrier is engineered for Jeep platforms running Dana Super 44 rear axles, particularly those built for off-road duty where factory open differentials allow excessive wheel spin on slick surfaces. Owners upgrading from stock differentials gain immediate traction improvement during challenging terrain negotiation—mud, rocks, sand, and water crossings—while maintaining on-road drivability superior to full lockers. Installation requires removing the existing carrier and transferring internal gears, making it ideal for DIY rebuilds or professional shop installations.
