You tell me. Could be either.

If you have ABS - you have a Dana35 for sure.
Visually is the best way though...

Dana 35


Chrysler 8.25 (notice the flat tab on the bottom)

Since I have abs, does that make the 8.25 non-compatible with my rig?

you would need to disable the ABS to install one.

Custom. This means that it was shipped to Chrysler incomplete from Dana and then Chrysler finishes the build. Supposedly the two versions have different shafts, bearings and carrier, but I've never been able to confirm this.

Is the "c" supposedly better. Ie, tougher shafts, bearings etc?

No, not at all

All jeep dana 35 rearends are dana 35c's.

With respect to the strength of the non c-clip and c-clip they're both about the same strength but the non c-clip version is inherently better as the shaft and wheel won't pull out if you break a shaft.

So, just to confirm, no c8.25's are compatible with ABS? I thought everything post '96 had ABS. How hard or stupid is it to disable ABS?

correct. If you have a c8.25, you don't have ABS, and visa-versa.

I believe it's as simple as pulling the ABS fuse, but you may have to swap the proportioning valve / master cylinder. I dunno for sure.

Any info on these? Trail handler radial apt 31/10.50/r15 tires. I believe they may be from Sears. I can't find much on these tires. Any pics or info of them?

If you pull the ABS fuse it will disable the system. You will have normal braking but no ABS.
