If it is 8.25 its most likely a 27 spline (96) and not comparable to yours, or Ryan's 29 spline... However I wouldn't worry about it unless your plainning to go bigger then 33's... But build and lock one axle, do it right the first time
87-89 if you plan on JY shoping.
If you don't have a storage place, then I would either check to make sure yours is a 29, if its not I personally would get a 29 spline, or a D44, which ever you can come across for cheap first with a matching ratio... (most likely the 29 spline)
I wouldn't worry to much about locking the front without alloys unless your 33's + then I would alloy front and rear but not a must (on my to do list)

the 8.25 and the D35 had thread in style and rubber plugs. I thought the same thing untill I was shown a D35 with a rubber plug... and saw an early 8.25 with a threaded plug in the JY...

Also, if your going to lock it, upgrading your axle shafts is not a bad idea IMHO.
