Here are 2 pics of my front axle.
It also has a few hard to read numbers stamped which I don't know they're use of.

You should have a 29 spline axle then which is good.

You will probably want to re-gear with 33's.

One of the tags under one of the bolts might tell you what your gear ratio is.

Interesting, thanks alot.

Kinda off question, will a Dana 44 be stronger.
Not thinking of swapping them yet but just for learning purposes.

Not unless you break the Chrysler, otherwise it isn't worth it. The Chrysler is plenty strong.

A dana 44 if beefed up will break on 37 inch tall tires not much of a upgrade.Before you swap anything what size life and tire do you want to run?
