The comment on C-clips is entirely correct - if you're going to go to the trouble to do any upgrading on the C8.25, get the C-clip eliminator kit first! Then, upgrade at will. If you're going to get stronger shafts, make sure they fit with the C-clip eliminators, or get the eliminator kit along with the shafts.

How many of you guys have seen a 8.25 break a c clip, or the tip of the axle where the c clip goes?
I have seen a bunch of guys running 35's and 36's and have never seen it... Have seen broken 8.25 axle shafts, but not because of the c clip... A aftermarket shaft seemed to remedy the problem for him so far....
And +2 on the disc brakes......

I've never even heard of a c-clip breaking on any axle, much less seen one.

IMO the chrysler 8.25 is a little stouter than the dana 35. they shoved em under 1/2 ton pickups that should say alot right there been wheeling for a while, but just got my first cherokee (93) wit the chrysler 8.25-dana 30 combo and have had no issues . the chrysler 8.25 center section is stronger than the dana 35

Superior has Evolution 29 spline axles for around 250 plus shipping, that and a disc brake up grade, no problem running 35-37 inch tires on a Cherokee.
