Complete Axle fit

I am building a 96 ZJ and I have installed a long arm lift. I wanted to upgrade the axle housings and wanted to know what model axle housings will fit under my ZJ bolt up? I will probably be buying complete built axles from locker to brakes and could use a source for that too.

Like every Dana 30 from 1984 through 2001 XJ and all 93 to 98 ZJ, a ton of TJs......
They're pretty much all the same from inner C to inner C.

If you're buying complete housings, just about anything can be made to fit. East Coast Gear Supply is a pretty good place to look.

Otherwise, like said before....for the front just about any Dana 30 from 1984-2001 XJ's. Though you'll probably want to be a little picky and find a high pinion, non vacuum disconnects, and ABS.

The rear? The only real "bolt in" swap I know of is the Dana 44A if you have a dana 35 rear. Otherwise, theres tons of kits to fit the Ford 8.8 which is easily found and rebuilt....and a fair bit stronger.
