8.25 rear end
Okay, found this posting. http://portland.craigslist.org/clk/pts/2047083000.html Seems really cheap to me, and if it is I want to buy it but how difficult is a swap? Worth going to pick up and putting on in the near future?

It's still a 27 spline which is the same as your Dana 35, not really worth it in my opinion. Look for an 8.25 out of a 97+ as it would be 29 spline and much more desireable.

Of course there's always the select few out there, thats a given. And there's also guys that put 39" pitbull rockers on a Dana 30 w/ beadlocks, does that mean I'm gonna do it? Not a shot in hell.

true story. I bought my new 8.25 knowing it was a 27 spline only for the r&p, i was going to swap the gearing into the axle i currently have but i hear the 27/29 spline isnt that much of a difference for 33s so i'm just gonna bolt the new axle in and off i go

if you have a 27 spline and want a 29 spline just buy a locker for a 29 spline and 29 spline axle shafts and tada swap complete
it kills two birds with one stone stronger axle and you gain a locker!

also its unlikely to come across one but the kj (liberty) has an 8.25 29 spline that is rumored to fit an xj and you gain rear disc brakes
