Default cherokee front axle

well i found a good deal on a read d60 out of a j20 jeep truck so now i need a bettert front axle. what front axle would be a good match for the d60 with the drop on the correct side.

they will be installed in a 98 cherokee, assuming that i find a front axle to match.

Id go with a Ford 9inch from Currie if you have the money. They build it to your exact specs and theyre strong! Or you can go with a Dana44 out of full size Jeep. Some are passenger drop and others are driver drop depending on the year. Would match the width of your Dana 60 I believe.

No, Grand Wagoneers have a low pinion, driver drop, narrow trac d44.
