going to run 33's for now but once they wear out im thinking 34's or 35's, its more of an added security thing then an actual need.

I don’t know shit about heeps. But isn’t Randy running an 8.25? I think if it can stand up to that abuse you should be just fine.

The 8.25 will stand up to 35s just fine. The only reasons I swapped mine for a Toy 8", were my diff was junk, and I needed a larger bolt pattern to match the front. Well, that, and Toy shit is far superior

So is the powertrax an automatic locker that unlocks when you're turning, but is pretty much locked otherwise?

The problem is not getting it in; it's [potentially] having to take it out. Now I had to take mine out because I didn't get it aligned just perfect like Terry said and broke the active spacers a few months later. BUT, should you break an axle shaft and have to take it apart you might encounter the same situation I did. It's not the most common thin to happen, but it has happened; the c-clip manages to increase in diameter somehow and sometimes won't come out that slot........don't say I didn't warn ya before you put it in, sometimes being pro-active is the best fix.
This happened to me:
