If you have an 89 you most assuredly do not have a C8.25. If you have an 8.25 it is c-clipped.


If you have a Dana 35. I have no idea how strong the Dana 35 is. The locker is tough but the axle IDK. I have a C8.25 and I have abused it on 31s. I haven't really had the chance to abuse it all that much on 32 inch swampers since I cut them after the first ride.

[QUOTE=BatmanXJ;2443589]Both videos are before the locker but, I have been no easier on it ever since.

I wheel way to hard. I have sheared the motor mount brackets off of the block. I have to shredded swampers. I have the heaviest foot out of our entire club. Those videos are how I approach things.

cool I think I will try it out.

In any case a d30 locker will not work in c8.25 its clipped or D35 clipped.

Im not suggesting that anyone do what I have done either unless they are not risking anything.

Ie op u have the locker already. I would attempt the install. If you are fimlure with pulling a carrier out. You will have to remove the carrier to attempt the install.
