Axle Size

How do i determine which size axle i have on my 94 jeep cherokee 2wd? I THINK i would need to know the REAR axle size on my jeep when i go to buy a lift kit for it correct?

It's either a d35 or a C8.25 (27spline) unless it was replaced at some point.

try here.

Thanks BCPARKER ok i think it is a 8.25 axle. I have another question will the rough country 4.5 lift fit on my 2wd cherokee?

Yes, it will fit. If there's not enough info from that link to determine which axle you have, look at the cover itself and try to find either the Chrysler pentastar design or a Dana diamond. That should 'splain which one you have.

i appreciate the help. i hear the rough country 4.5 without full leafs are crappy is this true?

If "without full leaves" means you're going to use blocks or add-a-leaves to get to 4.5", there are better ways to do it. Blocks will fatigue the springs and promote nasty springwrap, while AALs can make the ride unbearably stiff, especially if they are providing several inches of lift...

Then again, there's a sizable group with the train of thought that RC is crap anyway. I've never run 'em but doubt I ever would, either. Read into that what you will...
