KaptainRiktastik Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Anyone tried to put a Cherokee rear axle in a pilot house? I have access to entire vehicle and was thinking that this might work. I believe the axle has 307 gears.thanks only partial help here, as i have a Cherokee with straight 6, and 5 speed, and mine are 3.07 gears, the auto trans versions have 3.55s and the 4 cylinder jeeps i think are 4.10 I did my own lift on the Cherokee and they are usually either 8 1/4 rear or a Dana 35. rick.

Dennis_MN Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 If you use the search function, you can find many references to rear axle I switched to a Grand Cherokee, which has 3.73 gears and disk brakes. My Pickup is a 49 and apparently the 50 thru 54 has a different u-joint which allows for a conversion U-joint. I had to get my drive shaft modified.

papataylor@frontier.com Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 I put a Dana 60 out of a 83 Ram and it fit just fine. It was a 1/4" extra sticking out on both tires but it worked for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

55 Fargo Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 In my 55 Fargo, have a rear end from a 1989 Diplomat, slightly wider than stock, very simple swap, as others have mentioned, perches need to be moved to accomodate spring width. I have a 251 6, 4dp trans, and 3.23 gears, very nice, in all conditons expcept against a major cross wind at times, just on take off, hills may cause some issues, but once your rolling no issues. P 235 75 15 tires, 60 mph @ 2350 rpms or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
