Post a picture. ABS xjs were 35s unless someone swapped it out already.

How can I buy a set for 99 xj with 8.25 rear, non abs?

Thanks,

I am positive now that my 97 XJ with ABS has a Dana 35. Big David, won't I need the ABS ring from the ZJ axle as well as the sensors to make the ABS work with the disk brakes? I found a write up where someone cut away a part of the axle flange to make the setup work (not enough clearance for the ZJ sensor) and simply used the ZJ axles.

I don't have a answer for that. Most everyone who does the conversion delete the abs. I've had one guy buy the ZJ abs sensors from me in order to retain his abs. Not sure if he was successful or not.

Hi Big D. Thanks for the quick response. Here is what I found yesterday about keeping the ABS.

The only difference in these kits is for what rear axle. The Chrysler 8.25 has a larger axle tube so the bore on the backing plate needs to be larger.

D35/C8.25 rear axles are not specific to a year... the good news is, if you don't know what axle you have, all you have to do is grind the center bore of the plate out a little with a dremel or a die-grinder.

I'll do my homework and figure out what rear axle I have but I appreciate the help.

Any time..

Easiest way to find out is to just look under your Jeep at the diff cover:



and in addition to that pill-shape of the Chrysler 8.25, there's a flat spot on the bottom of the diff housing:
