Determining a few things before the upgrades begin.
Checking out which rear end my XJ is equipped with because l noticed its one of the questions on the life kit info. The rear appears to be a Dana 35 and the front a Dana 44. If l am incorrect please feel free to correct me. Also curious as to standard gears in these things. Mine is a ex government vehicle so it is equipped with a 3.55 sure grip. I am guessing most would be 2.76 or 3.23 peg leg geared. Thanks and this is a great sute wuth lots of good info.
Front Dana 44.

That's a Dana 30 front and 35 rear.
All Cherokees came with Dana 30 fronts.
Most 4.0/auto XJ's have 3.55 gears. Some came with tow packages with 3.73s. 5 speeds had 3.07s and all 4 cylinders had 4.10s.
The factory limited slip diffs are called "trak-loc"

Not according to the tag. If you look at the tag on the left side of your pic, the bill of materials number appears to be 610503-7. The Dana Expert site is down at the moment, but this list shows that as a Dana 30:
610503 JEEP 30 FRONT 1994 1/2-97 XJ NON-DISCONNECT, ABS
I can't read the BOM on the rear, but it's definitely a D35. You can also see on both tags that the gears are 3.55.

The "Axle Bill of Materials" link takes you to the search, but I linked the main page because there is other interesting stuff there. The BOM is basically Dana's product number.
And West Coast Differentials has a very good page showing how to identify axles and read tags from various manufacturers (including Dana):

I have this page bookmarked on my phone as a handy reference for when I'm in the junk yard.
