Sounds like it will work fine, if it is a Chrysler 8.25 the 98 version had 29 splines. That should be strong enough, but if it isn't you can pick up aftermarket 29 spline axles fairly priced, and use your stock axles as spares for trail breakage. The Liberty disc brakes can be installed on it to keep your axle shafts from sliding out if they break.
Using Cherokee axles is nice because if you need parts it is easy to find what you need.

By going to 1541H or 4340 steel axles you will increase the strength of the axles by up to 40 percent. No one said anything about different spline axles.
If you read my post you will see that I stated that he could pick up 29 spline aftermarket shafts
