I just got my build sheet
"DRAS Corporate 8.25 Rear Axle"
and now I'm 100% positive I have a classic which I was pretty much sure it was. I bought it without any badges and the dealer called in a sport.

What does the rear Chry 8.25 have to do with it being a Classic and not a sport? My 93 Sport has the Chry 8.25.
My build sheet says I have a classic. It was completely unrelated my bad

So if it says D35 it could still go either way, if it says 8.25 you can be reasonably certain its correct.

"The new two-wheel-drive models shared the front suspension with four-wheel-drive models. Jeep simply used a single axle tube from hub to hub with no differential between, resulting in a low added cost front suspension."

It's not a diff, 85+ cherokees had no diff just axles

4x4 = differentials front and rear
4x2 = differential rear only, straight axle in front
