i just swapped my D35 for the chrysler 8.25 and it was a piece of cake but i thought it was gonna be hard when i started but for the same axle replacement you really dont need anything cuz the the straps on the yoke are the same and the u bolts are the same as long as the shock mounts are the same it will be simple
