very common, mine just broke apart this week ha.

 

The front axle is probably a Dana 30 and the rear could either be a Dana 35 or Chrysler 8.25" (stronger of the 2). That is if they weren't replaced with other axles by a previous owner

 

Is that good to have those? I'll post pics in few

 

Well the 8.25 is a pretty strong axle. Close to the dana 44.

 

i just looked it up its an 8.25

is that leaking?

and is it just me or are my leafs worn out

Yep that's the 8.25. You might wanna change the gasket just in case it is leaking. Those leafs are pretty flat!!

 

That's a Chrysler 8.25. Pretty strong axle. Yes, it's leaking. Easy to fix. Take the diff cover off scrape and all the old gaskets or RTV off. While it's open take a look and see if you have metal shavings in the fluid and also look and see how the gears look. After it's all cleaned up add some RTV and seal it back up. Around each bolt hole and a straight line in between. I waited 24 hours until we filled it back up. Voila, no leaks for me!

 

yay

 

Haha, at least your pinion bearing isn't shot. I had to reseal it plus an entire axle swap.

 

That blows, so 8.25s are good?

 

Yep the 8.25 is strong, comparable to the Dana 44. Yours is a 27 spline whereas 97+ xj's are 29 spline

 

Haha, for how flat your leafs are, I would "spring" (no pun intended) for full leaf packs instead of the add a leaf bro! The AAL won't do much with leafs that flat. I thinks it's about $200 extra, but you won't regret it!

 

I'll definetely put some thought into it I may see Igbo can't just go pull some leafs off a wrecker

 

i REALLY dont wanna spend another 200 bucks tho
