Default dana 35 to 8.25 swap. Brake line question?

Hey guys I just picked up a 29 spline 8.25 that I will be swapping in. I have a 96 Cherokee with a dana 35 so it is an abs model. The brake lines on the 8.25 I bought are shot, can I just disconnect the lines from my 35 and attach them to the 8.25? I've searched around and couldn't find any info, any help would be great. Thanks.

I used my d35 lines on my d44. I want to say yes, but I haven't looked at a 8.25 up close. :-(

That's what I did. Use whatever lines you've got that are good.

I'm hoping it works hahah I can't wait to get rid of the turdy five. Just going to do some brake work on the 8.25 and wait for some decent weather to put it in

This is a good reason to have an 8.25. EASY disc brakes!!
