The 2005 KJ rear axle is a 29 spline, open carrier right? Thanks to anyone that answers

Got it, I was slightly unclear whether it was a 27 or 29 spline.

The 27-spline 8.25" came on the XJ's. I think the newer models (not sure the exact year) also came with the 29-spline.

Was it 97+ xj's that had 29 spline? I know it was somewhere in there.

I have read of a few 96's that had 29 spline too so it must have been the change over year. BTW, The way I understand it the XJ axle shafts are slightly different lengths than the KJ.

Yep the other vehicles that run the 29 spline 8.25 have all different lengths,go figure.Yukon does make HD 29 spline axles for the KJ though,about $115 each.
