97 4x4 5sp. I'm running 33's stock gear ATM. Found a 98 4x4 auto at the JY with about same miles as mine. Thinking of pulling the axles off that and putting them in mine for the higher gearing. I'm thinking this should be just a direct swap. Wondering if the driveshafts will be same. Or would it be easier just swap the gears.

Might was well grab the driveshafts just to be safe.

Still less expensive then re-gearing.
