95 cherokee rear end to A body

[pakerz27]

Does anyone know if a cherokee 8.25 rear end will fit under a 73 dart swinger? I think the perches are the the same, and flange to flange are
very close. I know perches will have to be moved to bottom side at 43"
center to center. Please advise!

Seaaarccch. It doesn't fit unless you chop it.

Cut the long side to the same length as the short side, and use another short side axle for the new shortened side.
Apparently the ebrake cable is close enough to the same so it connects.
Yes, perches need moved, and a different yoke on the driveline installed.
The brake proportioning valve will be changed if you use a disc brake rear end.

Then you have Trac Loc (positraction) and disc brakes in the back.

I looked into it quite a bit, and this is the way I will be going when it gets swapped.

LOL exact same process for the Ford 8.8 swap.
