I just bought a rear axle out of an 89 Wagoneer (XJ) I thought I was buying a Dana 35, but it turned out to be what I think is an 8.25". Is this the original axle? My brother has an 8.25 in his 95' and it's alot different than mine. My axle tubes are a lot smaller, the cover has no overhanging sheet metal, but the brakes appear to be the same. The only reason that I am asking is because I need brakes, and the geniuses at NAPA "need" to know the year that it came off of.
BTW, is there any strength differences between that and a D35?
