Alright cool thanks! Now I know which locker to get, what would happen if I got a 29 spline locker? Would that completely ruin everything in the axle?

It would explode with a 15megaton yield.

And i know the trusses dont affect spline count. I was just pointing out that id like to strengthen it.

Oh ya and how likely is it to have a 29 spline 8.25? Mines a 96 too so crossover year. I havent counted the splines myself yet.

At 33 you'd be ok and if you plan on keeping stock axles at 35's then id truss it but idk what kind of wheeling you do

You wouldn't be able to get the axle shafts in it.
