Well how much are they Asking for it? If it looks good and drives fine then there aren't any draw backs

I call bullsh!t on the axles listed. That is not a dana 60 up front, and that sure as hell is not a Dana 80 in the rear. How much is this guy asking?

You can with a lot of fab work, but those are stock axles in the pictures, a Dana 30 and 35 in the rear. A dana 80 is over kill for an XJ. Don't worry about the stroker engine, it will be just as reliable as a 4.0. Don't expect to get much more that 15mpg with a lifted XJ. The only real draw back to a 91 is if it has the Bendix 9 ABS system, other than that it should be solid.

Funny. I bought stock axles wouldn't last long w 35's plus I wonder about gearing.

How would you tell if is really a stoker?

I'm guessing low mpg, even for an xj

by looking at them, the 44 and 35 and 60 after dana refers to the thickness of the axels in mm. and the bolt patterns and shapes ofthe diff housings
