This may seem like a newbie question but I am stumped... I would like to know if I have a c 8.25 or d35. It looks like a c8.25 to me but on one of the bolts it has a tag that says "35" I think. What do you guys think it is? Thanks!

 

8.25 what year is your vehicle?

 

Thanks, I wonder why it says 35... It's a 2000

 

It probably says 3.55 meanin your gearing

It's an auto?
And 2000= 29 spline

 

That looks like a 35 to you?

 

Look at the pic

 

That's what I'm starting to think, and yea it's auto

 

Sorry man for a split second I did lol. They do look kinda similar at first glance. Definitely a good axle you have. I've run it with 35s and 33s locked on 4.56 and haven't broke...yet

Stock shafts

 

Hey I dont blame ya! I thought it was a d35 for months! Lol, what year is yours?

 

99 c8.25
D30 is locked too on stock shafts
But I run 33s now so I can beat on it a little lol

 

Yea I've been waiting for my 33's to get here for over a month (4wheel parts) so I just wanted to make sure I didn't have to an axle swap, your xj looks and sounds like a beast

 

Yes you do have the better rear end the 8.25 29 spline only has 1 better stock option and not in your year a D44.

I also have the 8.25 with 33x12:50's with the proper gear 4.56 and Detroit Lockers front D30HP and read.

Good luck and welcome.

 

Thanks man!
