Still connects the same way to the axle. Only matters for the front ds if you're changing the tranny

The 8.25 sets the drive shaft about an inch closer to the transfer case.

It'll bolt up just fine.

Once you get it installed I'd make sure that there's enough travel left. You don't want the shaft to be too long. Climb under there and make sure the shaft still has room to move.

Ultimately, an SYE and a front drive shaft would take your cares away.

It'll work just fine. Especially if you're lifted at all.

Well im currently on 2" and will be on 31s in about 2 weeks.

I'd do a SYE and front drive shaft before I did that. I don't think it's going to be necessary though.
