axle questions
I have a 1991 XJ with a 5 speed AX-15 tranny and a Dana 35 rear axle. I understand that if I want to upgrade the rear axle to a C8.25, it has to be a 1997 and up ? and also, does the C8.25 have to be the same gear ratio and the Dana 35 ? and how do I determine the ratio in my D35 and when I am picking a C8.25 from the JY? thanks guys for the input.

I think all the ones with an AX15 trans had 4.10 gears I know the newer ones with the same trans and a Chy 8.25 were 4.10's.
You must know what is in the D35 to be sure that someone had not changed them at sometime front and rear must be matched.

Update
I have the 4.0 6 cyl. What ever the gear ratio is it is perfect. And I want to find a 8.25 that is the same as my D35. How do I determine the ratio of the D35 ? Thanks. And yes it is 4x4 D30 up front and D35 in the back. Also will the U joust bolt up to the yoke of the 8.25 ? I have the 3110 joint I think. Thanks.
