This is a dana 35, right?? or an 8.25? thanks guys

sorry if this is asked a lot i'm a noob and just curious..also sorry for bad pic its a cell phone pic

 

Dana 35. The 8.25 is identifiable by a flat 'lip' along the bottom, it's shaped more like a D than a 0.

 

thanks CodeXJ

 

Turdy five that's what I got for now.

 

they bad?

 

Weakest axle you can have.

Worst to Best:

• Dana 35
• Chrysler 8.25 27-spline
• Chrysler 8.25 29-spline
• Dana 44
• Ford 8.8 inch (disc brakes FTW)

Some people run D35s around without trouble, but if you get in mud or crawling, it'll probably break. Especially if you have larger tires on it.

 

D35's can handle a decent amount, I am running 35" tires on mine and have no problems, I also beat the crap out of it. We go mudding/trailing/climbing weekly at some harsh places.

 

Well i'm just getting a 3 inch lift and 31's as it's my DD..and i dont really do much mudding i honestly just want it for looks but I do have a mud pit right by my house so i take it there every once in awhile..

i should be fine with 3 inches and 31's right?

 

Definitely, I had a DD with 4.5" and 33" MT's that ran for 5 years, than I took it off road and its still stuck, upside down, in the mud pit by my buddies house.

But my new dd is getting a 3" lift and 31" tires this weekend.

 

pics?

 

Will do next time I head out there

 

Did you at least take the parts off of it?

 

Yea, we took the axles and put them on a 94 s10 blazer, leafs too, tires came off, basically the whole underbody.

 

Yeah that should be fine.

 

thanks codexj
