Are the drums and/or shoes the same or interchangable?

I know that the wheel cylinders are not the same! 10 bux for 35 vs. 25 bux for the 8.25!!!
Not sure if the shoes are the same though. Just look at the part numbers for the two different shoes for the two axles and see if they are the same.

I tried to cross reference but nothing to do it to at work.

Pretty sure that the 8.25, here at least, was equipped with the 9 inch drums and that the 10" ones only came with the Dana 44 axle. I have heard the Dana 44 was used more extensively on export models. Just by roughly looking at them, the drums and shoes look identical, I haven't looked into the subject thoroughly. I'm also trying to line up a disc replacement for the 9" drums, anybody parting out a ZJ?

Well I found a parts break down and it appears the 35 & 8.25 do share the same 9" drums. The 44 has the 10" drums but some of the numbers don't make sense. I'm just gonna start swapping parts from my old and new stuff to find out.

I'm pretty sure the d35 I pulled out of Haleyes's rig had the 10" drums. It is a 96, with the police package. JIM.

XJs with the Dana 35 through 1989 (I think -- might have been 90) had 10" x 1.75" rear brakes. The AMC Model 20 axle in the 86 MJ and the Dana 44 rear axle got 10" x 2.5" rear drums. The later Dana 35s (1990 or '91 and newer) got the same 9" x 2.5" rear drums as the 8.25 axles.

So my '98 D35 drums will fit the '99 8.25 I've got.

98/99 drums are 9 x 2.5" for both the 8.25 and D35 axles and have the same part number for the drums and shoes. The Police Package used 10 x 1.75 drums. (Sales code AHB)
98 D35 will fit 99 8.25.
