On the bottom of the 8.25 is lip that can be ground off at least a 1/4" and it affects nothing........except that much more to drag on.

If that is the only reason for a swap its not worth it, not that difference and its cheaper to just add disc brakes to the 8.25 also. I guess IMO the labor of the custom install and having to carry 2 driveshaft's instead of one. Your plans may include things I don't see though so you may have a good reason.
