I'm getting ready to swap out the rear in my 1994 XJ (Long story short it's all grindy and after seeing the nightmare of some taken apart I figure it will be faster and easier just to swap the whole thing and fix every possible problem in one go without taking anything apart.) I have a Chrysler 8.25 rear and have seen some nice looking ones in the salvage yard from newer well maintained XJs (99-01's)...If they also have a Chrysler 8.25 rear is that enough or do I need to further narrow it down in some way?..Thanks

Im swapping a 8.25 in mine, get one from 97-01 xj they r 29spline and r basically equal to dana44 there a direct swap

For sure the 97-01 8.25s are better.Should be an easy swap.

all you need is 97+ with the same gears bolt in and go
