Hi All,
This is my first time to the forums, and after countless hours on here and google searches I must say I am stuck. I have a 2001 Cherokee Sport and I was nearly positive I had a Dana 35 axle, as the diff cover had the Dana Emblem on it and a little steel tag between one of the bolts that I believe I can make out a 35 on. This all lead me to believe that I had the D35, but then I was about to order new U-bolts for a budget lift, and had concerns. Everywhere I look online says that the D35 has a U bolt with an inner diameter of 2.64" and the Chrystler has a 3" U bolt and tubing on the axle. I of course wanted to make sure I was ordering the right sized u bolts so I went and measured the diameter and u-bolt dimensions, and sure enough 3". In addition to that the diff cover has the iconic flat bottom instead of the round one as the D35 has.

I haven't seen anything like this anywhere on the forums, or the answer on google. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
