Dakota or cherokee rearend

Trailbeast, speaking from experience, the cherokee axles are equal length.. The ford 8.8's (which is a very popular swap into the cherokees due to its strength) had to be cut down. Ive got an XJ rear end in my garage right now and it lines up almost perfect (minus moving the spring perches) with the 7.25 in my A body.
