I don't see why not. The 8.25 is much stronger than the dana 35 but even if you have the 35 you won't really have to worry much about snapping axles with 31's or 32's.

Sure just get the right locker for your particular axle,you didn't say if you had a d35 or a 8.25.You need to make sure your axle has an open carrier to and not a limited slip or you will need an open carrier also

Trans will be fine the rest depends on his hard you wheel it.Ujoints are cheap and easy to replace..I kinda think of them as a fuse for the drive train.(Use the right amp!lol)even shafts are cheap from the JY.I carry a spare
