Yes correct, the Dana 30 has a carrier break. My Cherokee came with 30/35 and I swapped the rear for a 8.25 the first week I owned the jeep. I picked up an 8.25 with Disc brake conversion, 4.10s and a lunchbox locker already installed for $450. The front I purchased a new carrier and matching gears.
I only run 33s and am currently working on strengthening my front Dana 30. If your Cherokee is a 96 or newer you have the larger 760x joints which are the same as a 44. I'm currently working on sleeving my dana 30, gusset the Cs and do the almost alloy kit from Iron Rock Offroad. At the same time I'm doing a WJ brake conversion. Later Im going to add an ARB and move to 4.88s.
If all your going to do is run 33s, that would give you plenty of strength up front.

With that 96' its also possible you have a high pinion vs the weaker low pinion? With all the oddly worded info on the interwebs, is not clear to me on when Mopar incorporated the Dana 30 HPs. But it kind of looks like 1996 - 1999???
