dana 35 swap for a 1993 jeep ZJ

[dockrat100]

Will a Dana 35 rear axle from an 89 XJ fit on a 1993 ZJ? I am getting some noise and vibration from my rear axle, and I found a good used one for $100. I'm wondering if swapping the whole thing out might be better than trying to fix what i have. The guy did say he has bolt in axles, instead of the c-clip axles I have now.

Can this swap be done?

It won't bolt right in, the XJ uses rear leaf springs while the ZJ uses coils.

Best to find a ZJ donor. Avoid the aluminum housing d44.

Good to know, thanks.
