8.25 rear pros

Now that you say it is going in a full size pickup, the cons have another point. If you ever want to tow or haul heavy loads with that truck, the axle bearings are not sized for those loads. Sure you may get by, but they would fail if pushed. There is reason Dodge never put them in full size pickups.

Dodge used them in many 1/2 ton pick up trucks in the 80's
