Revered Cherokee drivers, I would like to know if there is a real easy way to determine my rear axle type in my 2wd 95? With a little more research I could probably figure it out but I am a little hungover right now and appreciate the "easy" button. Thanks for any help!

The SEARCH Button is your Friend!!

 

Measure your axle tubes,if it is 3",it is an 8.25. If it is 2-3/4" it is an D35.

 

no ABS it's an 8.25
with ABS it's a d35

but really, google these 2, then look under the back of your jeep and match it up.

or you can measure the axle tubes.

but you've probably got a 35.

 

D35 axles were used for both ABS and non-ABS.

 

Thanks for the feedback. Before I use the SEARCH engine, which axle is better: D35 or 8.25?

Thanks,
Geoff

 

8.25,but D35 is good to if you do not abuse it to much.

 

Thanks! Ultimately (funds permitting) I plan on a 8.8 upgrade. I just have to figure out the gearing after I figure out my lift and tires.

 

Best way is to post up a pic and we will tell you what you have

FrankZ, You rock. A perfect answer to my question.

 

Yes, yes I do.
And occassionally my fat **** rolls too.

 

I made a post in the main tech writeup area called Axle Identification. Now no one has an excuse because it will come up on any search for it.

 

yes, but i believe only before the 8.25 came available, no?

 

No.
