Gears all the way. It would be much better than an Exhaust

i got 4.10's and a t-lok for my 7.5 rear end and all together it will cost about $750 or so with proffesional installation, i couldn't find a 8.8 around and got tired of looking and waiting so i'm going to keep my 7.5 because i dont think i can afford any big power adders anytime soon
