I've been searching all over and have found tons of info concerning these two axles, but I haven't found anything about the housings.
I know the 8.25 has 3" tubes and the XJ D44 has 2.75, which makes the 8.25 look like it has a beefier and stronger housing. How do they stack up though? I'm assuming the D44 has .25 wall tubes (is that right?), what about the 8.25? Is one constructed sturdier than the other?
I picked up XJ D44 this weekend for super cheap and I'm trying to decide if I want to use it and sell my 8.25 to a friend cheap, or sell the D44 to my friend. I won't use more than 32-33" tires, so I'm not extremely concerned with the internal strength, though it's nice to have more locker choices (mmmm... electrac). I mostly prerun in the desert, so the housing strength is more important to me than most jeepers.
Thanks guys,
Marcus
