Default gears question...

I was about to place the order for the FRPP 4.10 Gears, T-Lok 7.5', and the Bearing kit... now, i was reading that i can swap out the stock Girdle Rear End to an 8.8,if i DO swap it to that,does this mean that the gears, t-lok, and bearing kit have to be "for the 8.8" or do i STILL purchase the 7.5?

besides all the stuff listed above, am i missing any other things to go along with them? or will i be okay with that?

thx...

8.8" rear end = 8.8" parts
7.5" rear end = 7.5" parts

The 7.5" is strong enough unless your putting out over 300 rwhp or plan on running slicks

Cant you swtich the axles? just the housings are different if i remember. What are you planning on doing with your car as far as power? IMO DO NOT buy new gears, you can get them for $25 from a junkyard that will do the same thing.

i actually am buying new gears.. FRPP, i found a website that is selling 4.10 gears for $94 and T-Lok for $180.

i know that getting used gears would be the same, but i can NOT pass up a NEW set for that price... thanks for clearing the clouds guys..
