Default Installing 8.8 rear end on V6?

I've seen this mentioned many times before, but no ones really gone in depth... Is it possible to install an 8.8 rear end (including 3.73's and t-lok) on the 7.5 rear end (V6), and if so, what are the advantages?

I couldnt see any issues, should bolt right in as long as its the same model (fox/fox, SN95/SN95, exc). May run into a issue with the driveshaft bolt pattern but thats just swapping the rear flange.

It's a bolt up part that swaps right in. I run a pretty strong 7.5 in my Sixer still, but swapping to the 8.8 is a very common thing once you take steps to make power.
