It's pretty much a direct swap. The control arms, u-joints are the same. The brake lines on the 8.8 that I bought were on the opposite side of where they were on the 7.5. I just ran an extra length of line over to where I needed it....no biggie
The entire job can be done in a day if you have a helper.
When I say "helper", I don't mean the guy that stands around with a beer all afternoon watching you work....LOL
