jeep cherokee rear

i am possibly looking into a jeep cherokee drum brake 8.25 rear end. building up an 8.75 right now is a bit cost prohibitive. anybody use a boxy jeep cherokee rear end ? what is its width compared to an A body rear? spring mounts dont matter i can move em to where i need them.

other option would be a ford ranger 8.8 rear, but the jeep rear would be easier to find a limited slip with 3.55s, and is still mopar.

thanks
matt
