This Is A 8.25 Correct?

[87Chief]

I found this jeep at the Junkyard today and decided to look under it.. Am I correct on a 8.25 because of the flat bottom?

 

Thanks

[87Chief]

Oh, I'm excited lol

[mvusse]

Correct. What year XJ is it under?

[87Chief]

I believe a 93

27 spline instead of 29 then

[mvusse]

You want to look for 97 (late 96) or newer to get the better 29 spline one.

27 spline is still better than a D35. Shafts are comparable, but the housing and tubes are a lot beefier... plus, if he ever wants to change gearing, he can easily upgrade to the 29 spline carrier and shafts without changing out the whole axle.

I was just searching through the yard.. I have a 4 cylinder so my gears are already 4.11's I'm looking for a 4.0L swap truck
