Default specs on my rear axle?

I have a 91 briarwood 4.0. i know the rear is a chrysler 8.25 but im not sure if it 27 or 29 and if it c clips or not. both my seals and outter bearings are bad and i wanna be sure i get the right parts the first time. any info would be great thanks. and maybe someone knows what the gear ratio is too...

If it ia stock to your jeep it will be C-clip and 27 spline and should have 3.55 gears.

Nah, the 8.25 was '91 up. The D44 was only until '90 in the Tow Package, after that it was 8.25. Both my '93 and '94 have 8.25 axles. In '97 they went to the 29-spline.

Also, if it has a tow package, it's more than likely 3.73 gears. If you wanted to know for sure, grab your vin number and call a dealership, they should have no problem telling you.
