Make sure you get the drive shaft as well because they are different lengths and your D35 version will be a bit too long. Also something to consider, if you have inspections where you live swapping will make your ABS light come on since the 8.25 doesn't work with it and 90% chance your D35 does.

Maybe on a stock height rig, but with mine, I kept the d35 shaft when I did the 8.8 swap simply because it had the better joints between it and the one from my parts rig. I honestly feel like even it is to short at 3" of lift (granted my block lift is slightly different in where the axle gets placed than a spring lift). I only have about 1-1.5" of spline engagement

Nooo clue. I'm happily ABS-free. Modules under seats sounds like the airbag module to me. Good luck though.
