I am planning to go from 31's to 33's and adding lockers F & R. I have a 30 up front and a 29-spline 8.25 in the back. Is it worth upgrading the rear to an XJ-44 or Explorer 8.8? Axles for the 44 are 1.31" 30-spline, but the 8.25 is 1.21" 29-spline. The axle tubes are larger on the c8.25. The 8.8 sounds nice because of the disc brakes. Would it be better to keep the 8.25 and adapt discs, swap in a 44 and adapt discs, or swap in a 8.8? Worth the time/money? Leave as-is and throw in a locker? Help me decide.
