If its 8.25 then ZJ rear discs will work if you slightly bore the caliper bracket. I've sold two sets of ZJ brakes to guys that have done this swap.

as mentioned, junkyard swaps are available.
BUT, if you want new, we sell a conversion kit that fits the Dana 35 & also Chrysler 8.25. In fact, I currently have it on my XJ.

The kits were originally for TJ's with cables, but we have it without cables as well, and had XJ rear cables made for the earlier & later setups (also fit ford 8.

I believe the dana 35 has a rubber fill plug, usually leaky.
nope, my 8.25 has a rubber plug also.
