Does it matter, d35 or 8 1/4?
When buying a lift kit, does it matter if you have a d35 or 8 1/4, low or high pinion? I found a lift that says its intened for a d35 but I have an 8 1/4 and high pinion. Will this work? Thanks for any help.

All XJs have HP front D30s except the 00 and 01s. ALL rear axles installed at the factory in XJs are LP...D35, D44 and ChryCo 8.25. You might possibly have to get different U-bolts as the axle tubes on your ChryCo 8.25 may be bigger than the axle tubes on a D35. I know from personal experience that the D44 and ChryCo 8.25 use the same size U-bolts.

Yeah they work, it's whats on my 96 with a three in lift. Worked great except I didn't know the downfalls of a AAL lift when I got it, definately would have just new lift springs in the rear.
