8.25 is stronger, but you should just grab a 29 spline while your at it.

Although it's not necessary.
Dodge cars and trucks ran fine for years with V8s and 27 spline axles behind them. eace:

Yeah thats all fine and dandy till you throw a locker in. Then again Matt used to run a 27 spline and had good luck with it.

Lockers existed for a long time prior to the coming of the 29 spline 8.25.
I had no idea.

Alex I didn't realize you were selling one. Yeah, get the 29 spline axle instead.:yelclap:

Free is nice! Could it be upgraded to 29 spline while you're regearing it? What would it take, well probably cheaper to just find a 29 spline! Anyways, wheel what you got! I have only wheeled a D35 one with a locker and one without. I think the biggest question is what size tires are you using? Bigger than 33's then find a 29 spline 8.25 for the cheapest option.

yes, when you re-gear it you can get a 29spl carrier and just do 29sp shafts IIRC?
What he said. The chry 8.25 is years ahead of the d35. Stronger gears, stronger carrier, stronger housing. And in general just a better design.
