Thought about it, but 35 was just rebuilt with locker, the 8.25 has differant ratio, so I'd have to change front to match then buy another locker for rear with 29 splines, not that much better of an axle or to me it isn't
Be await the undercoat isn't going to be hard enough for alot of feet it WILL ball up, your welcome to try it but your nut going to be happy with the final resalt
Just a thought for your rear 90's ford 8.8 explorer find a d2 door code means 410's and limited slip whit I replaced my 35 with its only about an inch narrower than your 35
My oil is changed no almost, not about but every 5000 miles, couple months ago I thought of a fluke, did it again last week? Hum I so want my 4.0L back
I'd have to say if your going to all work and expense to weld on knuckles then why not just flip the hog head over then it runs the other way? I mean if your having axles cut your not worried about a little overfilled oil level are you??
