Default after market gears

the 7.5 rear axle housing is not near as strong as the 8.8 axle housing and I would not waste time and money putting gears into the 7.5 rear end only to break it real soon. get a good 8.8 rear out of a junkyard if need be and then put the new gears and stuff in it instead.
