Cherokee Axle Question

[2000F150SAS]

How much stronger is the 8.25" or the Dana 35 Axle? Is worth swapping from the Dana to the 8.25"?

Thanks

Yes swap it. the 8.25 is much stronger

8.25 swap

Ok, thanks.

Is a easy swap installing a newer XJ 8.25 into a 1988 XJ?

Thanks

It is a bolt in, as far as i can remember.

If you are going through with the swap make sure you get a 29 spline 8.25.

29 Spline

How can i find this out without pulling an axle? XJ year, rear tag, etc.??

Thanks

1995 - 2001
These units are 29 spline equipped and are considerably stronger than a Dana 35 rear end.

a ford 8.8 is a good swap, its not a bolt on but its not too hard and the 8.8 is a strong axle

they started using 29 spline axles in 97 i belive. it is a direct bolt in but you will need the 8.25 parking brake cables. I just happen to have a few of them here if you are looking for one.
