The 8.25 wasn't available in 89 first of all...


Are you asking for replacement upgrades or what to do with your stock ones?

Ok everyone doesn't need to make it complicated, he simply asked what he should put under his jeep, the 8.25 or the Dana 35 (at least this is how I'm understanding from it) the 8.25 would be my opinion if I had a choice between the two

What size tires you gonna run?What rear ends to use depends a lot on tire size and how your going to use it.Out of the two the 8.25 is the better two but if your not scared of a little welding you have a lot more options even junkyard ones.

How are you going to use the jeep?Are we talking rock crawler or just more of a trail truck with a mix of everything?
