Well, after some hard core research, matching up bolt patterns from the
front pumpkin, and a quick phone call to an old friend (and Mopar
"Guru")...it turns out that 4.10:1 gears WILL fit in a '97-up 4x4. How?
Because the front diff isn't a 7.25...it's a Dana/Spicer-35 (Reverse Cut)
Differential.
This was confirmed with a Factory Service Manual diagram.
Hope this makes a few of you happy who want 4.10's in their 4X4's. :)
Later Y'all....
