pflaming Posted April 10, 2012 Report Posted April 10, 2012 (edited) Well, here we go again. I have access to this axle. I think it's one of the correct ones to transfer. The Wranger axle has the complete E-Brake mechanism, all the brake lines, good shoes and good drums. So just a good cleaning new oil and . . . The perch holes: 44 1/2" on the Dodge: 44" on the Wrangler. The transfer axle is from: "97 Cherokee, 6cy, AT, 2WD. axle ratio: 3:55 Before I continue, am I OK. Edited February 2, 2018 by pflaming Axle ratio: 3:55 & 97 Wrangeler, Thanks Tim. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted April 10, 2012 Report Posted April 10, 2012 except for the most important part..rear ratio..is this an improvement..lot of ratio's ack in the 59 time period was still quite low Quote
TodFitch Posted April 10, 2012 Report Posted April 10, 2012 except for the most important part..rear ratio..is this an improvement..lot of ratio's ack in the 59 time period was still quite low I think he is referring to a 59" wide rear axle. Jeep Cherokees came in two versions: The older big one from 1974-83 and the smaller unit body one from 1984-90 something. Not sure which rear end he has, it looks too big for the later small unit body Cherokee, so maybe it is the older version from the 70's or early '80s. Quote

pflaming Posted April 11, 2012 Author Report Posted April 11, 2012 The information in here is not all correct, refer to the later thread. Thanks Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted April 11, 2012 Report Posted April 11, 2012 again I got to say this in looking at rear end widths..your rear brakes will be the determining factor in backing plate to backing plate and this width varies some 2 inches..(if you get a small opening inner measurement and small brakes..the axle could not be of proper width) the best measurement to go by is the flange to flange and even better with the drums/rotors fixed in place..this will determine the track of your axle when mounted if you intend to run stock rims..if you desire to use modern wheels which are prone to positive offsets, the axle will need be wider in your selection..determine first your build, stock or modified..then the outer flange width per your intended application Quote
