I am getting ready to purchase and instal a Rustys 3 inch on my jeep. One of the questions it asked before I can order it is what type of rearend my jeep has. I am definately new in the jeep world and I am not sure which one it is. I looked for a stamp or a tag but I couldn't find one. Im not sure how to figure this out. Is there anything I can look for. My jeep is a 2001 jeep cherokee classic 4x4 4.0. Any help would be appriciated. thanks

the 01 came with an 8.25 29 spline as far as i know they didnt have any other axle available

you could look online for pictures of the Dana 35, Dana 44 and Chrysler 8.25. you probably have one of those. my bet is 8.25. let me know

Man, thanks guys. Looking at the image in the post, i thinking it is 8.25, but I can't be 100 percent sure right now. I looked earlier today. I'm going to print this out and look tommorow when I have some daylight to be sure. I will post which one it definately is as soon as I check tommorow. Thanks for all the help!

The Dana 35 ws the base axle from 84 all the way through 01. The Dana 44 was the option during the 87-89 model run and the Chrysler 8.25 was the option from 91-01. The 27 spline 8.25 was used 91-96 and the 29 spline 8.25 was used from 97-01.
