I'd need to regear the front, replaced the brakes, then get a locker, & search for spare shafts!!! with the 8.25 for $150, brakes, a locker, & 8.25 shafts are everywhere!

i swaped out my 35 for the 8.25 it is a direct bolt in. also you can look for a ford 8.8 but it will take some fabing to get it in but they have disc brakes on them. i had one in a 92 xj i had with a arb and i loved it.
