dana 35 or chrysler 8.25 i have a 89 xj with a 6.5 long arm rockkrawler lift i am having a hard time choosing axles which would be best pros and cons on both axles would be great thank you

 

The 8.25 wasn't available in 89 first of all...


Are you asking for replacement upgrades or what to do with your stock ones?

 

i never said the 8.25 came with my 89 i have a 8.25 and a dana 35 the 8.25 is off the 90 i have just purchased for a parts jeep i want to know what axle would be better to run with

 

neither

29 spline 8.25 or better. anything else ain't worth your money

 

Ok everyone doesn't need to make it complicated, he simply asked what he should put under his jeep, the 8.25 or the Dana 35 (at least this is how I'm understanding from it) the 8.25 would be my opinion if I had a choice between the two

 

ditch both and get a 29spl 8.25.

 

thank you man i have a few axles to choose from i just dont want to scrap the wrong one if i have something better and could be a upgrade rather minor or major i want it ty sir

 

did the 1990 come with a 8.25

then i may have a frankinstien here it is def. a 8.25 axle in the rear of this jeep now i need to find out how many splines is there a way to check with out tearing the axle down

 

What all axles do you have to choose from besides the 8.25 and the d35

 

What size tires you gonna run?What rear ends to use depends a lot on tire size and how your going to use it.Out of the two the 8.25 is the better two but if your not scared of a little welding you have a lot more options even junkyard ones.

 

36 12.50 16 super swampers tsl or my 33 nittos welding ?

 

How are you going to use the jeep?Are we talking rock crawler or just more of a trail truck with a mix of everything?
