If only this was PBB...

It won't work because the D30 is a steering axle and the 8.25 is not. That's also why you can't use 8.25 axles in a D30 unless you weld the knuckles. The D30 shafts won't fit the 8.25 because the axle tube isn't large enough to fit the ears and U-joints of the D30 shafts.I'm not gonna flame you for thinking outside the box. Yes they are both 27 spline, but I would bet it has to do with axle diameter and carrier fit.
finally someone who can somewhat agree with me:cheers:
i have a d30 lockrite and a 2wd xj on 33s, do the math. oh and no money...:doh:
