usually swapping columns between years isn't possible if they are too far apart. Need more information to say.

Those part #s are close enough that I'm pretty confident it will work as long as the engine/transmission/fuel/year are the same. LHD and RHD ecm is the same.

no

i don't think the dodge 8.25 has the same gear divisions, so that will be a major issue

also different bolt pattern and wider

if you can do ssome weldings get a ford 8.8 axle from a 96+ explorer. Will get you 4.10 gears. Limit slip diff, disc brakees. There is some work in the conversion but i hear its worth it. Also depends if you could get your hands on one

Hey guys, putting a new wheel bearing in my 00 XJ today and I was wondering what size the axle nut is? Not the thread size and pitch, just the size socket i'll need.

36mm is the socket size.
