if you can fab get a ford 8.8 out of an explorer, if not then a chrysler 8.25 out of a 97-01 xj they are 1 spline short of a dana 44 so their strength is equal, and swap is completely bolt in with no mod needed. just make sure you find one with the right gearing, as far as front axles go all xjs came with a dana30
