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.

Very useful unless someone did a swap. However only a moron would swap an 8.25 out to put in a D35.

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

Ya 98jeepsrt6's pic is spot on. You can actually tell how heavy duty the 8.25 is compared to the dana 35.

Te circular one with the FLAT bottom Is 8.25, what I have. If it Dosent have a flat bottom and almost perfect circle sides, it's the d35

Google both and compare them to what you have... Lol

This fill plug looks like it's almost at the halfway point on the axle. Mine sits much lower down.

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

"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."

what are you talking about?

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