don't waste your money.
go on www.car-part.com and find an 8.8 with 10" drums and 3.08 gears then build it up the way you want with all new bearings and seals.
any 93-09 axle will work.
you should be able to find the said axle for around $100
the 7.5 is a good axle but the stock crosspin is notched and it makes it really weak.
and fyi, the 7.5 uses the same axle shafts as the 28spline 8.8

do you have 33"s and 4.56 gears? i dont see how you can comment on them unless you have..
but to the orig. poster, just decide if you want to spend 500bux for gears/install on the 7.5, and If it breaks, it will or it wont, do you want to spend more money on a 8.8 and gears? or just spend 500bux on an 8.8 and hope to get some 4.10 gears factory, and upgrade to 4.56s if you want more power
ha if you were in texas, i would sell you my 8.8 with L/S 4.56 gears and MAC Diff cover hhaha

I hadn't considered this. You wouldn't want to spend lots of money on a 7.5 and then have it crap out. Might it be better to save a little money in the long run by spend more now. I don't know that is up to you.
