If it's a YJ 87-95 yes, TJs 97-05 have a low pinion axle and JKs are different as well.

It it is a wrangler, not a CJ and has leaves up front it would be a YJ. That means high pinion 30 just like you. CJs also have a 30 front and leaves but it's low pinion and a passenger side drop.

If it came out of a YJ it will fit.

Yes if its out of a yj the gears will work (assuming you're running a 30/35 combo)

Just get a master install kit and you'll be good to go

CJs have that as well but like I stated they are passenger drop and a different bolt pattern.

you will need the carriers from the front and rear that they came off of and the front must be high pinion to work
