rear axle on stock??
I ws just wondering if any one can confirm that on a 98 xj classic 4.0L the rear axle is a chrysler 8.25? I'm just checking because I'm getting bigger leaf packs and need the correct u bolts
Thanks!
Thanks!

Which one of these does your diff cover look like? Chrysler 8.25 is an easy spot because of the small space in the lip along the bottom and top in the center.

I know that one....when they ship it from the factory they put 8 gallons of gas in it. I worked at a dealership in the '90's every Jeep we got had 8 gallons of gas in it.

^ Thanks. I'm sure that's it. I took it as saying I had a 28 gallon tank. Which I knew was wrong because it never takes more than 17 gallons or so when on E.

I always that that was the 44....I've got the 8.25, but it didn't come with a hitch when we got it. We got an aftermarket one installed. Not to mention I don't have a trans cooler, but it's a manual anyway.... For all I know, someone could've taken all that off at some point, but IDK

Mine has the tow package and also has the 8.25. That much I do know

It was the 87-88 Mj that had the 44 with tow package, 86' I believe had the amc20 if it had the tow package.
Can't rely on if the 98' had a 8.25" if it has abs brake system, it most likely has a d35
