running 35s on a 8.25 ?

<< < (2/3) > >>

calvynandhobbs:
A 29 spline 8.25 should be able to handle 35s if you aren't completely a skinny pedal driver on climbs. The tubes on a 8.25 are the same size as an 8.8 and there are a lot of XJ guys on NAXJA running 8.25s with 35s without a problem. There just isn't as much aftermarket support for the 8.25 compared to a 8.8 or D44 so you won't find the variety of lockers, and gears for it.

HOT-ROD:
it all depends on what you want to do. just have fun what ever you decide.

reptile610:
the only problem is what is your front axle? you SHOULDN'T  run over 35's on a dana 30. (notice i didn't say you can't)

gearhead1985B:
Axle had 37's on his d30 locked

yea, but he had alloy shafts.  Already mentioned is the lack of aftermarket support for the 8.25.  And factor in that you will need new gears before going to 35's.  I ran 3.73 gears with my AX-15 for a while, but upgraded to 4.10's.  3.55's and 35's w/ automatic is not going to work to well.
