Trying to see if it is even worth keeping the axles I took off my 02 Wrangler when I swapped in new axles. The old ones I took off are 3.73 dana 35 & 30, both have ARB lockers in them. Question is, will they bolt into a 98 Grand? Thanks for the help !

front should, but I think the rear the spring seats are different as well as the track bar mount. anyone can correct me if I am wrong.

WJ's don't have a rear trackbar and have a triangulated upper control arm.

That would be useful if we were talking WJ's...

Measure CA mounts on the 2 axles also. They may be different. Should be a pretty easy swap though

All TJ's have the short low pinion front, and so do 1996.5 and newer Grand's. This makes it possible to interchange ring & pinions and the locker. The axleshafts are the same also. You would be able to bolt the whole front one in, with the possible exceptions of ABS sensors if you need them.

The rear is a different story, ZJ and TJ rear brackets are definately different. As long as they are both Dana 35's then all of the guts are interchangable, including the shafts (ABS tone gears can be switched from one to the other if needed).
