Welcome to the site good buddy. First, it is dana 30 in front; no such thing as a d35 front axle. Post some pics of this BEAST and might be able to tell you if you have long arms.

Ok, so! First off, i have pics, and i will load em tomorrow morning when i can use my buddies comp (my phone is FAR too slow for photobucket, and almost too slow for this website...)
Second... i met the original builder of my jeep. I learned alot... and learned how much the previous owner didnt know (and i didnt know) its on a 4.5 inch lift, the fenders are trimmed, it is a jcr steering set up AND bumpers... the mirrors are off a 98, the front axle is off an 88 (if i remember right) and the rear is off a 97 (if i remember right) im gonna go back and write everything that has been done tomorrow. It also had a four core radiator. He works at orilies, and when i asked for a book for a 91 cherokee, he was like "a 91 huh? I know everything about a 91buell cherokee, i built one not to long ago" lol the look on his face when he saw it was priceless. :-D

Oh... and i am confused about the dana 30/ 35 thing, because there are a bunch of threads about dana 35 axels in the modified cherokee section... one currently asking if he has a dana 35 or 8.25 or something... so whats up? Lol
