im looking for a 8.25 to replace my 35. i am running 31s but i think im going to regear to 4.56 or 4.10? so when i decide i can just throw on 33s? is that bad idea? and what about the front you have to regear?

If you plan on using 4 wheel drive ever, then yes you have to regear. If you don't your T-case will pretty much explode.

the 8.25 never came with 4.10 right? so just find an 8.8 make it work and regear the d30 is the most logical way?
