Then it's not a 99 to 2004 WJ setup.

Yep, definitely is not. But since it's rusted, looks like I have an excuse to get the right one.

Unsure. Still not 100% sure this XJ is a keeper. I got it cheap, its rust free and low miles so who knows.... But if I do, I will get rid of the D35 and go with a rear end that comes with disc from the factory. I don't mind welding on some spring perches and stuff.
