Default Is an 8.25 rear an 8.25 rear?

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

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