According to what I know about the axles at all, GM Performance doesn't recommend anything over 3.73's. Which sucks.

Why would you want a spool? Are you planning on only having this thing off-road? A spool would give you great traction in the rear, if you plan on only going straight or if you plan on whipping it through the turns.

Spools do not allow the tires to move at different speeds in turns. They eat tires. Don't do anything to help on the street.

If you plan on keeping it on the road, I would consider a locker (like Detroit) or something similar that doesn't COMPLETELY lock up the diff 100% of the time.

I called my local chevy dealership and they quoted me around $450 for the gears for the front and $350 for the rear, not including installation.

 

You can't get a detroit locker for the 7.5" 10 Bolt in the rear. As for why I want a spool, they're cheap(about $75 and a Detroit is about $500) and eliminate all the drawbacks of lockers without compromising on strength. No noises when the locker engages, easy installation,and a minimum amount of tire ware. The only problem is availability, but I belive I have found a solution. The Reider Racing advertizement now shows that there is one available for the rear.

 

summit racing has a mini spool for the 7.5 rear end for $99.99.
