    I have a second front axle that came with the Jeep that is I believe a D30 (or maybe even a 44) off a later model CJ ... its also got calipers and rotors (but no pads). Often thought about just installing it so I'd have front disk brakes, this might be the opportunity to do just that.

    Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

    Make sure the gear ratios match, new front and original rear, if they do, I wouldn't even bother with checking the broken one. Disc brakes alone are worth the swap.

    Ya, they were probably planning on the swap and you came along. Blackford is correct, check the ratios but if it came with the Jeep, the odds are they will match. This will make the fix even easier.
