If you have a D35 a Chrysler 8.25 29 spline is the best upgrade you can get IMO if you dont want to put in alot of work. If you want to (and if your lucky enough) get a D44 out of a early model cherokee with the towing pakage and you could swap it in but youd have to fab up some mounts unless your cherokee is of a similar year. Also use the search bar above. Theres many many threads on this topic.

Whats wrong with what you got? In my 95 is and 8.25 and my 99 is also a 8.25 with a heaver spline count. Never an issue with eater. The 99 with the beefier 8.25 runs 36s without a prob. The only reason I can see swapping it is if your running more tire then me or if you have an D35 and then anything is an upgrade.
