it will only have the 2 piece axle shaft, or CAD (center axle disconnect) if it has the 231 transfer case.
the 242 or full time option (select trac) transfer case has the full 1 piece shaft. these came mostly in the limited model.

but either way, yes, both axles will fit with or without the driveshaft.

Think he asked cuz of ratio difference and to be honest it does matter if you wanna keep the tc intact (wrong gear = split case)
Just my 2 cents

Sorry about my misinterpretation
I assumed you was throwing another axle in at random
