Another newb question but I checked the thread showing what years had what, but I have a 1991 Sport and it shows I could either have a:

Dana 35 c-clip - 27 spline, 1.18" diameter shafts, 7.58" ring gear, 2.62" axle tube - used 90-01

or...

Chrysler 8.25 - 27 spline, 1.17" diameter shafts, 8.25" ring gear, 3" axle tube - used 91-96


So how can I tell what I have?

look at it. if the bottom of the axle clearly has a flat bottom its a 8.25 if its round its a dana 35

Great, thank you

Here you go.

Great picture thanks!


Is one better than the other as far as stock axles go?

...and I have the Dana 35.

Yeah, the 8.25 is better.

unfortunately i have a dana 35 too. im gonna swap it out eventually
