Default Axle shaft

Im having a bit of a dilemma and im hoping for someone here to help me out. I recently lost control of my car while it was raining and when pulling into the side of the highway my left side rim hit a pvc pipe that was sticking out of the floor and it bent my axle shaft. Im thinking about getting the 2015 once its released to the public so I dont want to spend more then I have to, to fix this issue. One thing I dont want to do is buy the shaft without abs because then the light would be on and at the same time it would be careless. In the other hand I dont want to spend 400 dollars on a shaft with abs. Ive been told I can buy the shaft with the adapter to put the ring but how am i suppose to know which i can put the ring on. I would really appreciate some suggestions thank you.

At $400 you are better off getting a 7.5 axle that was taken out of a 2005-2010 and just swapping them. When I swapped my 8.8 into my car I scrapped the 7.5....

+1. Find a used 7.5, and swap out the entire rear end. Once they get bent, you likely also bent the axle housing, and just changing the axle is not going to help. But, you could do it, and hope it fixes it.
