If you have any junk yards where you pull the parts yourself, look for a 1998 or newer XJ with the 8.25.

They had the 29 spline units.

I went in and found an XJ that was totaled for front end damage and pulled the 8.25 after confirming the axle ratio's matched.

IMPORTANT: make sure the axle you buy is the same ratio you have or you'll have to regear it.

The one I bought looked like it came with brand new brake hardware and drums and cost me $85.

It looked like the guy was on his way home from getting the brakes down when he had the wreck.

You could also upgrade to 30 spline if you get the shafts and a 30 spline locker
What diff would the locker and axles be out of? Just a 30 spline d35?
