Pretty sure it's an 8.25. Nothing wrong with a 35 though unless you are building some high power trail monster.

Thanks for the reply
its a supercharged 4.0, but i wont be doing crazy rock crawling like some guys with very built jeeps do but i will be doing quite a bit of off roading with 33/12.5 tires so the stronger the axle the happier i am. now i just need to pull the axle and hope i count 29 spline and install a locker

The year would tell what axle spline you have?

 

[dbrant]

its a 96 but im pretty sure it is an early 96

My '96 has an April build date and came with 27 splines.

yeah im pretty sure mine was built in december of 95 so i dont have my hopes up for it to be a 29 spline so im probably run to some pick and pulls around town and try and find 29 spline axles and carrier and swap em out

 

[dbrant]

if im changing the axles. would i even need the carrier? or would i just buy a 29 spline locker

You just need the locker and Yukon axles are fairly inexpensive for a bullet-proof set-up. From the sounds you might want to look into disc brakes also.

I would think an 8.8 would be easier than all that....
Disks, 31 spline, maybe find the ratio you want?

Realize that if you are changing the carrier you are setting up gears.

It isn't just a matter of unbolting one thing and bolting in another.
