I would guess you could but you would still have to set up the gears so you just as we'll buy new ring and pinion they aren't that much money install would be the same.

You could just cut off the perches and reeled then soa and put the whole axle under your xj. If you want to go to the trouble for a d35. I would get a ford 8.8 with 4.10s to swap in

What are the gears in the Dana 35? Sometimes the carriers need to be changed as well.

It depends on if the wrangler axle is a d35 or not.

A XJ rear axle will be way easier to find and will bolt right up. Look in your junk yards for an 8.25 that is the same (auto vs manual) trans you have. Putting money into a d35 is mostly a waste.

Why are you asking? Wanting to regear?
