Anyone got a link or a picture showing a 7.5 rear next to a 8.5?

Also any way from the outside to tell if its 10 bolt or 12?

THANKS












(why isnt there a sticky for this stuff??) 😀

7.5 has "fangs" hanging down off center section.

8.5 has larger "triangles" hanging down off center section

10 or 12 bolt........ count 'em. If you need to take your shoes off to get higher than 10, that's O.K. :wink:

Note: Like 82355supreme pointed out, the 7.5 have what looks like ears sticking out of each end along the bottom of the housing. On the 8.5 they look more like a square. this is a pretty accurate way of telling them apart. Hope this helps.
