I have a D30hp axle I'm rebuilding from supposedly a 96-97 XJ. My buddy gave me a carrier from I believe a wrangler because that's all he works on, it is the higher ratio carrier and had 4:10s on it. The axle he pulled it from was also a D30hp with the pass. Side stub shaft unlike the Cherokee long shaft. Will this carrier work in my XJ axle?

 

Yes.

 

Yes, it should.

What year Wrangler did it come from?

 

Not sure what year it came out of, it was in a spare axle he had in his garage.
