As title states, im trying to id this front axle. Looked up all the stock axles my jeep should come with and im having a hard time figuring out what this one is.

Info on the jeep: 2000, sport with 4.0 and 5 speed manual tranny.

Got some good shots of the jeep itself today too figured i would throw them in here!

Well shoot, i guess while we are at it, does this rear look like a Dana 35 to ya guys? Only reason im asking is the po told me the front axle was swapped out at some point but that doesnt seem to be the case. Now I wonder if he meant rear. Sorry about the quality.

Take a side view of the actual differential, or from the rear looking forward. It might have been swapped for a high pinion.
 
Did the OP change the gears or anything else on the axles or just add covers?

The front appears to be a stock TJ dana 30
 
Its a Stock dana 30, it may have been replaced at one time and not original to your jeep but it is a stock jeep axle. Not bad, just dont think you are running nascar or king of the hammers with it.

Ill have to dive a little deeper to see if any ratios were changed

Ive owned it for 1 day now. All I can say is i was going 65 on the highway at about 2200 rpms on 31’s. I’ll be doing some deeper dives into figuring out actual ratios soon enough

Type your vin into this website for the build sheet. You'll at least learn how it came off the factory floor. https://fcacommunity.force.com/RAM/s/equipment-listing

pull a cover and read the numbers on the ring gear...
 
Put the Tcase in N, jack up a wheel. Spin the wheel one revolution and count how many times the pinion goes around. Chalk mark one of the U Joint caps for easy counting.
3 turns= 3.08
almost 4 = 3.73
little over 4 = 4:10
4 1/2 = 4.56
No mess quick and not very dirty. Butttt pulling the cover will tell you more,,, stock or aftermarket gears, locker, overall condition etc.
