Question abut axle swap
Hey i picked up a 2000 XJ for $500 with a blown up D30 3.55 ratio low pinion, i want to replace it with one from a 1997 ZJ D30 3.55 low pinion thats at an auto wrecker fir a good price, The ZJ has a NP242 selec-trac and my XJ has a NP231 Command trac will the D30 from the ZJ work in my XJ i did some measuring on the mounts and it seems like it will bolt in. I know the best option would be to find a High pinion D30 to swap in but i cant seem to find one locally and im in a bind to get it up and running since im out of a vehicle atm any help would be great thanks!

Yea i have been looking at every auto salvage around me but all i seem to find is the low pinion ones. Yea the ZJ axles are ujoints thankfully but appreciate the help and quick replies, now im just waiting for the auto wrecker to dig it out and pull the cover so i know if the gear set is not rusted out before i pay for it so i can get my jeep back on the road
