So I just ordered a spartan locker for my 29 spline 8.25, I am sitting on 35's. Does anybody else run this setup? If so, how has the locer held up, any problems? By the way, "search" isn't working on my phone. Also, does anybody know how spartan verifies tire size when it comes to the warrenty. Also, what would be the best dif fluid to run in order to reduce wear on the locker?

I considered locking my 30 when running 35s but I'm gonna wait.
I wouldn't hesitate to lock the 825 (29 spline) but I'm not wanting a rear lunchbox.

Super easy. Use the pins to hold the springs down.

You should be fine. the 29-spl C8.25 is a good axle.
