Rear axle and drive shafts

I'm going to replace my rear axle and my question is
Does the rear drive shaft that fits into the Dana 35 fit into a Chrysler 8.25?
All input would help
Thank you

They both have 1310 u joints so the joint would fit. As for the drive shaft length, you would have to measure depending on lift, SYE or not, transmission, and transfer case it may fit or not.

While your there you may as well do a SYE and put in a front DS.

But thats just me...

I only have a 3" lift so I don't think I need a SYE right?
I have an automatic transmission with np231 I think it's called correct me if I'm wrong.
I just have to do the swap real soon and now all I'm really worried about is the length of the shafts.
Could I reuse my driveshaft or do I have to get the one from the c8.25?
