95 Cherokee 8.25

[KenZ]

I have a dreaded 2.45 gears in my 73 Duster 8.25 rear. I found an 8.25 out of a 95 Cherokee that has 3.55's. Can I swap the carrier and gears into the Duster?
Thanks,
Ken

Yes it will work. Mopar changed the axle spline count/size in 1997. You could probably swap the entire axle. Of course you'll need new spring perches.
