8.25 ifs rebuild

[red1]

well time has come to tear in to this 8.25 ifs unit and ditch the 3.42s and go to 4.56s I have done the rear with 4.56s and was a easy swap. but I have to say this 8.25 is a lot more involved. I will try to post pics and part numbers for rebuild

If you have 3.42s now it won't be worth the time and money unless you have 35s or 33s and with a tire that big I would put 4.30s or 4.56s for a daily driver or 4.88s for a off-road build but 3.42 to 3.73 is not much change just my 2 cents worth

He goes by Bigredmariner(get it?...mariner ) Eventually some day I hope to install an Eaton E-Locker in my Burb's front diff and intend to use his thread as reference even though my Burb has 9.25 gears they must have similarities.

I wish my pig had the 9.25 since I have the 35s. But the 8.25 is okay if you treat it right but if it ever go's I will sas it. Can you run a locker with out turning it into a grenade? I know the 8.25 and 9.25 have a bad wrap of going bang but it seams most of the time the cv will go before the case seams like the locker would put a lot of stress on the whole assembly
