Dana 35 & Dana 30 carrier interchange questions
Ok, I have an 1989 XJ with 3.07's.
I have found a pair of loaded carriers + ring and pinion's out of a 1998 TJ which are 4.11's.
Will these loaded carriers work with my axles since I am not c-clip?
If not can I swap spider gears from carrier to carrier and make them compatible?
Do you guys know of any other interchange issues that will prevent this from working?
I will be purchasing new bearings + crush sleeves before installing any of this.
Thanks for any advice in advance.

The TJ is a LP axle & your XJ is HP. So, that won't work. Just swap in the entire TJ front axle & either cut off all the bracketing & add spring perches or find a jy 8.25 or 8.8 with 4.10 gears.
If you can set up gears go for the rear guts swap.

I didn't realize the TJ's were LP front diffs.
I am capable of doing a gear swap. I am just trying to get this done for as little money as possible.
I was interested in the TJ carriers because they're 100% complete.
For me to do a new R&P I also have to buy carriers.
Thanks for the help!
