Yes, the brakes are identical.

Assuming it's your TJ's build sheet that shows ABS, you'll have to disable
the ABS unless the donor XJ had ABS, which I doubt. Or you could get tone
rings installed on the 44's axles.

I would be amazed if the Daimler built Dana 35c would use the same
backing plates as the all Dana built and assembled 44, and for the year
'90 they have different part numbers:
http://www.billhughes.com/90RbrakeParts.pdf We can see the 35 axle tube
protrudes through it: http://www.billhughes.com/dana35c/0022.jpg Where
the 44 would use an axle retainer. An idea of how the sensor and pick up
ring are positioned: http://www.billhughes.com/brakeseq.jpg Your local
tool and die maker could cut a notch in the reinforced area of 44 axle
to make it work: http://www.billhughes.com/temp/absAxle.jpg But this may
be your excuse to remove the dangerous Antilock Brake System:

Why remove the ABS when you can just pull the fuse?

okay ditching the ABS is not a huge deal for the time being. i can
always get it to work later on if i feel i really need it.

moving on, any suggestions on how to get the tj d35 brakes to fit on
the xj's d44?

Once again, they are a direct bolt-on.

Thanks Jerry! it's just that mr. hughes made a good point. nothing
personal to you at all. i guess we'll find out for sure if they work
or not when the time comes! i got all my stuff on order and it should
be here in a couple of weeks. let you all know how it goes!

thanks for the replies!

Jerry owns an off-road shop IIRC so I imagine he has some real-world
experience with this sort of thing.
