not many common axles have a third memeber other than the 9

I'm gonna guess it's a 9.25". Chrysler did not have a Ford 9".

I guess.

you are correct , in the last pic you can see the pentastar ....
possible it's from the 70,s also .

not the most coveted 4wd axle due to axle tube dia. ,
but not bad in a " B " body mopar .
( had one in my road runner that held up to some stupidity )

Yep, it's an 8 3/4. Good if you're drag racing or something I guess. the 9"'s housing is more oval in shape looking at the back, and it's also way bigger.

well crap, I guess I didnt see it either. Chryco 8 3/4 has a lot of aftermarket also though....Cant see why it wouldnt be alright behind a Jeep.

Well, I retract my previous statement.:shocked:
I failed to see the emblem in the pic.
I studied it and still missed it. Plain as day now.

You have to admit, at first glance, it resembles a 9".

Agreed with oatmeal totally. If they can live behind hemi cudas they can surely live behind 4.0s. My brother has got quite a bit heavier wheeling with it lately and hasn't had any problems whatsoever---------Kyle

P.S. Pics of it under his jeep in that thread oatmeal posted. Best of all, same or more clearance as dana 35!!!-----------Kyle
