I just bought a 2001 Cherokee that was in an accident, and it has a bent front axle that I am going to swap. I noticed that all of the JY list 2000-2001 for the axle, it's 3:55 w/o ABS. I always thought they were all inter-changeable and now I am reading about high pinion, low pinion.

Can I go for any year?

If I go with '99 and prior, what will I have to change, if anything?

Please help.

Thanks,
Dusty

Im not sure about any of that, but if you need a front D30, i have one out of a 89'

Yes get a HP out of any 99 and older

Will I have to modify anything?

Nice Jeep BTW...

RenoXJ

Thank ya Sir, you dont have to modify anything just Make sure that the gear radio matches up.

DustysXJ

Great!

I had a '99 that still had the tag on the rear, but that is not always the case.

Do I have to pull the diff cover off to find the gear ratio, or is it stamped somewhere else?

RenoXJ

Most of the autos are 3.55

on the ring gear there are 2 numbers
for example
19 44

44/19=2.31

that will be your ratio

Thanks Reno!
