C 8.25 Lunchbox locker?
ok i got a 95 xj with a c8.25 in the rear. i know that those up to 97 have 27 splines. i saw a little while ago that Aussie makes a lunch box locker for the 97 and up 8.25 and they have 29 splines. i was wondering if i got a 97 up LB locker that has 29 spl. and just get some Superior 29 spl axle shaft would that be good enough or am i missing a lot more
on a side note, whats the advantage of having reverse cut ring and pinion gear set for the D30?

You'd need to change the carrier as well as the 29 spline axle is larger then the 27.
Really just grab a 29 spline axle from the junkyard and swap it or find a 27 spline locker.

I thought the carriers were the same. You're gutting the carrier of it's splined gears and replacing with locker gears. I think 29 spline axles, a 29 spline locker and you're good to go.
This is the info I was given before I found a deal on an 8.8 rear end. Try searching, but I think you just need axles.

Can someone who has done this confirm either way? I'm going to want to do this also in the future.
Also, OP, all 1984-1999 XJ D30's use reverse cut gears since they have a High-Pinion D30. 2000-2001 are standard cut due to having a low-pinion D30.
They are NOT interchangeable. You must use reverse cut for a HP D30, standard cut for a LP D30.
