Well from what I've seen personally, you aren't gonna find any lower than that man. Not if its got the axles and everything. Rear ends are $$$

if you think about it, the gears and in install for them would be around 5-600 total in your 7.5. so you're pretty much getting the better 8.8 rear for 100 if those are the gears you want.

Kinda depends on what your lookin for and what the SRA comes with. The IRS is missing a few things, but ultimately I do believe parts cost more. The SRA, if complete would be a good deal

I paid $350 for the rear end in my car with 3.73's already installed. There are deals out there, just keep your eyes peeled on CL.

I guess we're lucky in CO.

Usualy not that cheap, I sold my SN rear for $200 with axles.

Keep an eye out for the Pull-n-Pay type junkyards that give general pricing. They're usualy $100-150 for a complete rear but you gotta pull it. Gears aside, the axles, brakes, brackets, etc from your 7.5" will bolt up. So if you get a Fox 8.8, you just transfer over your axles and brakes, and some gears.

I know! I feel bad for you guys paying high dollar for used stuff. You'd think prices would be similar.

Good deals are rarely there when you need them. You have to save the money and be ready when the time presents itself.

ain't the truth. always happens that way. that IRS ad is a good deal assuming it is working order.
