ive found the lock right for 399$ new at complete off road, why so expensive?

Yes, aside from the D44, the C 8.25 is the strongest axle out there (we are talking stock XJs here).thisfirstlove said:haha
thanks for that
Is the 27spline 8.25 stronger then the 27spline D35?
Ramsey said:the 29 spline is much better though. check out www.rocky-road.com i think they have a lockright for hte 27 spline for pretty cheap
most definetly do that instead of a locker. you'll regret it in the long run if you dont and then you lose money when you sell your axle to upgrade later. do it now and dont lose the moneythisfirstlove said:i never even thought about that...my local yard said they want 250 for the 8.8 w/ disks...yea or nea?

JMotorsprt said:Sorry to Hi-jack, but I do have the 8.25. Can anyone tell me right off if it is the 27 or 29 spline in 1996? I was debating a cheap locker in my rear this afternoon. If there is a remote possibility that I might want to go d44? Would it be worth searching down an XJ d44 and going with a locker?
Would it be worth adding a locker in the front or upgrade first the diff first?
Thanks

Best advice so far on this hijack. Most 96 XJs with the C8.25 had the 27-spline axleshafts, but late (very late) in the 96 model year some XJs picked up the first 29-spline C8.25.Ramsey said:the only way you will know is if you pull the shaft and count
