well, since im guessing you have a 93 and that makes your 8.25 27 spline i'd say slim. you can break that shaft doing anything but usually on something bigger than a 33 and getting on it pretty hard. i wasnt easy on mine with 33s and it was fine.

I beat on mine on the rocks pretty regularly and I am running a Spartan and 35"
KM2s... No breaks yet in two years of wheeling...

I never had a problem. The 8.25 is a very stout axle even in 27 spline.
Lock it and forget about it.
