Default What 8.25 do I have?

I have a 1996 Cherokee Sport without ABS. What spline count do my axle shafts have? 27 or 29?

4.0, AX-15, 3.07s, D30, 8.25, 4dr

Thanks,
Jeep450r

27 spline but that is more of a educated guess.

But I am pretty sure that is what it is.

On a 96 you must pull one of the shafts and count the splines.
End of story.

How can you take an educated guess without knowing if it's a early or late model especially when it's been proven that it could be either??

Use the search feature and you will find plenty of previous threads on this topic. That is why I said that. Furthermore, he follows this site closely and has participated in those previous threads.

I don't make sense? At least I didn't forget how to write a complete and correct sentence.
