Nice!! I too have the 5.2, more or less stock, high pinion Dana 35 front, and the aluminum Dana 44A in the rear with a factory posi out of a 97-98 5.9 ZJ. I've got the NP249 too, probably gonna do a 242 swap pretty soon.. Or maybe a 205.
Check out my vids for two clips of what happened to my old D44A.. It was a mess lol.
