If you didnt convert the rear its a 7.5... yea you can do work to them but its still a 7.5 and cannot withstand that much power. If you plan on just doing bolt ons, etc. you will be OK but if you plan on dumping major power through it I would advice swapping rears. You can get an 8.8 W/ GEARS installed for like $200 bucks.

I forget where I was looking but I just seen someone selling an 8.8 w/ 3.73's for $200 or $250 I forget.... in Jersey too. And you can pick up stock 8.8's for like $100 bucks... they are all over craigslist.
