Default dana 30 27 spline

I was wondering if someone could tell me if the "Alloy" 27 spline axle shafts for the YJ will work with my Cherokee, I dont want to go with the 30 spline because I alreay have a 27 spline locker in there ( dont want to have to buy another locker )
And if there is one just for the XJ, what site can I find iot at, the only one Im finding is on quadratec and it says its for a YJ

for early years spicer 5-297X was used then spicer 5-760x replaced it in the later years.

false.

earlier dana30's without abs have spicer 260's

later dana30's with and without abs have the larger 297 joint.

the 760's are the same size as the 297's just made with a different process to be stronger (heat treated maybe)

So will this kit ...

http://www.jeepinoutfitters.com/scri...?idproduct=606

fit a 94 XJ ( I was told it has a 27 spline ) This is my first time dealing with front axles. Also, is there anything else i should buy wile im in there? Theres nothing worse then starting a project to only find out once you have it torn apart that you dont have everything you need to finish. ( Its happend to me a time or 2 ).

so what size spicer would a 94 dana 30 have?

I appreciate the info.

i dont see why not. you need to check the spline for sure though. NEVER assume.
