front axle

[JFAComanche6]

Can I use a front Dana 30 off of a 1993 grand cherokee ZJ bodystyle on my 89 MJ?

[Backdraft]

No, but you can use a front Dana 30 from a ZJ.

my bad thats what I meant...alright thanks.

the ZJ axle will bolt up, and will be fine for stock trucks, but its low pinion and that can become an issue on lifted truck. plus some of them came with CV joints. once again fine for street trucks, less good for lifted.

Shafts can be swapped.

I don't plan to lift the truck anytime soon, I'm just tired of getting stuck on wet grass :fs1: I'm also wanting the stock 3.07 front axle too so I can use 4wd on the road and I don't want to mess with my stock rear end.

You won't find 3.07 gears in a ZJ, unless you find one of the EXTREMELY rare 1993s with a 5-speed. That was the only year Jeep offered a manual transmission in the ZJ. All others are automatic and will have either 3.54s or 3.73s.

I thought this was unusual. http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/cto/3020282650.html

Thats a nice ZJ...so what year XJs are most likely to have the 3.07 d30? This is pretty interesting.

It's also not a rust bucket, which is also rare for the 93s. Being the first year for the ZJ body, there were some problem areas that were very prone to rust-through.

 

I'm sure being a California vehicle doesn't hurt.
