The 7.5 is fine for my application but no options for a selectable locker. As for the G80, I'm not sure I'd take the time and money. They often fail; mine blew up first time I took it off road....
I will likely have a complete 7.5 truTrac with 4.10s available when the time comes.

Haven't heard if that's a 10 bolt, or 12 bolt, but I always assumed a 10 bolt. I know its not as strong as a 9'', but not as much parasitic loss as a 9" either. 'Course I know there are some versions of a 10 bolt that are stronger than others...
But it doesn't surprise me to hear that the 8.8 has better aftermarket versatility!
