8.25 axle shaft
looking for axle shafts to throw in while I’m doing my rear disc swap I just pick up.
Alloy usa shafts 4340 chromoly
yukon 1541H steel
little bit of of price diff not crazy. Jeep has a lunch box aussi locker and 4.56 gears with 35 inch tires. I’m thinkig the alloy due to being stronger but just seeing what people suggest.

Unfortunately there are no worth while axle shaft upgrades for an 8.25. Unlike D30 chromoly shafts that increase strength by "60%", the aftermarket shafts for 8.25s are only 25% stronger at best. Not worth the price imo. I would say just grab some stock shafts from a junkyard if you're worried. Issue comes down to the metal and how the bearings ride on the shaft instead how they would on non c clip axle shafts.
