Default Yukon Chromoly shafts for the 8.25?

-32 spline.. (gotta recheck) yukon chromoly for a chrysler 8.25 never been installed. just filthy

This is what guy near me put out for what he has...he's asking $90 and a buddy told me theyd be a good upgrade. Any questions I should ask him or what should I know about the spline count cuz Ive read some stuff about 27's and they ditching their shafts due to them not being much better then stock???

8.25's came with 27 or 29 spline shafts. Never heard of a 32 spline upgrade.

would be strong. $90's pretty good. it would be 27 or 29 depending on the year of your xj. It went from 27-29 mid year 96 i believe.

if it is a 32 spline, it will not fit into a 27 or 29 spline yoke

the shafts are no good to you regardless of spline if they don't match the spline on your diff unless you plan on changing that to
