not all of them had the 35 mines a 93 and i got the chrysler. basically what you need to do is look at your rear end and if the bottom of it is flattened then you have the 8.25 if its more rounded then you have the 35 and i believe that only the 35 came with abs so if you have abs then you have the 35 and if you dont then you have the 8.25 but i could be wrong about that. but the best thing to do would be to do some leg work and search the forum and google instead of having us do all of the work for you oh also if you lay under there and measure the diameter of the axle tube if its 3 inches then you have the 8.25 if its 2.5inches then you have the 35

If you have ABS you have the 35. If you have no ABS you could have both.
If the bottom of the axle is rounded you have the 35, if it's flat you have the Chrysler.
If the axle tube is 3 inches you have the Chrysler.
You can also requrest your build sheet and it will tell you how it rolled out of the factory: http://www-5.jeep.com/wccsapp/univer...ull&category=U
