i have a 8.25 and want a selectable locker but only ARB has one. i would like the Eaton Elocker, but they don't make it yet. so all of us with the 8.25 should contact them and say 2offroad wants a Elocker so make him one. selfcentered i know but i want one.
If you're asking about shaft strength, the 8.25 is much closer in strength to the D35 than the D44, not to mention it uses C-clips. D35 shafts (IIRC) are 1.17", 8.25 shafts are 1.21", and D44 are 1.31". The 8.25 axle tubes are larger than than both of the other axles, but I don't know how thick the tube wall is.

Axle shaft Diam. 1.31"
Splines 30
Ring Gear Diam. 8.5"
Pinion Spline 27
Pinion Diam. 1.35"

Axle shaft Diam. 1.21"
Splines 29
Ring Gear Diam. 8.25"
Pinion Spline 27
Pinion Diam. 1.675"

Also note no carrier break on the 8.25.
