D35s were not an option for a front axle, you have a D30 in the front. Do you have ABS on your Jeep?

so unlike the website says. Dana did not make a Dana 35 front(steerable) axle. EVERY XJ and MJ have dana 30's in the front.

if you can find a dana 44 rear for the cherokee get it!!! if not find a 29(97+) chrysler 8.25
for a direct swap


if you want a little fab work find an 8.8 with disc brakes or a 9" from the junk yard and build them up
