I'm swapping my tired Dana 35 for a '99 29 spline Chrysler 8.25 in my '88 XJ. If anyone else out there has done this I've got a question about the driveline. I was wondering if instead of having my driveline shortened could I just use the driveline from the '99? Thanks, Darin.
 
It should work if they both have the same transmission and transfer case!

First you need new U-bolts the one for the 8.25 are larger (3") 2-The transfer case slip-yoke design is different on the 99 and wont work on the 88,as the oil will leak out.
If you have any lift the DS may be Ok as the pinion snout on the 8.25 is only about 1/2 " longer than the D35.
