Suspenion swap and question about a rear end
I have a 96 cherokee classic with a 4.5" rubicon express lift and i am wanting to swap it to a 98 cherokee sport with stock suspension. with the rear i am going to just unbolt the leafs and shocks and undo the brake lines and swap over thatway because the rear end is out of the 98. i need to know what all to swap over from the front and how to do it. anyone have a write up? also hw can you tell what rearend you have? i want to know what earend is in my 96 how ca i tell?

i am swapping the whole rear end so i wont need to undo the ubolts. i will just inbolt the shocks, and leafs and brake lines. the lift is less than a year old so hope i dont break top shock bolts. How do i know what rear end i have?
