Default 99 Kota on 35's

ok so now that i have my kota up 5.5inches and the 35's fit i can see the unpleasant factory diff covers and such from just a couple steps away, so if anyone can tell me what rears are on this beast i would apreciate some help. the rear is either a 35 or an 8.25 but the tags are unclear and the front i have no idea about. let me know what im dealing with please. pics will be posted soon.

here is a good site with pics and bolt patterns so you can identify your axles the front is a C205F and you'll have to look up more on it on google or something i believe its basically a independent type dana but don't quote me on that http://www.4wheelnoffroad.com/axle.html#Chrysler

Here's what the 8.25 will look like from the rear, should help you figure out if that's what you have under there:

yeah its a 8.25 i seen where it got cut off on the tag in the glovebox.
its a tuff country 5.5 and it was not easy to install like they say it is. but the look alone was so worth it. the 315 75 MT/R's with Kevlar set it off though. Thought the ultra Maco wheels 16x10 were hot to so it all came together nice, What do ya guys think?
