You can do whatever you'd like with a welder and some fab skillz.

 

but you think you are do it with out a welder

 

your 7.5 and the 28 spline 8.8 I think should both have the same axle tube size or whatever, so the 8.8 28 spline disc swap should basically be the same for your 7.5 although I'd look at getting an 8.8 if you're going to the trouble anyway.

read here, should be the same for you axle.

I when to the jk and all i could find is a 7.5 does someone know what year and model i look for for the 8.8

 

Umm...every year every model?

 

All the ranger i seen had the 7.5 not the8.8

 

what has the 8.8 and will bolt up to my ranger with no welding

 

another ranger. 4.0. look for newer xcabs, 4x4. they should all have the 8.8

 

Is that the only one that will interchange
