I don't think ZJs ever came with the C8.25, just the D35 and the D44a.
Do the ford axle.

Well that depends what kind of SYE you want. A simple look at the parts stores would tell you that most larger online parts stores sell them, just depends which kind you want.



Better advice would be to get your lift/tires/axles in order before planning an SYE.

I meant installed to see if you actually needed an SYE...You said earlier you're going to be starting off with 35's, right?

Ya 35s. It's going to need the SYE cause the rrear end vibrates with no lift at all already.
