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

dmalcom3 Jun 23, 2012 08:45 PM

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.
