If you are a good welder than pull an 8.8. Out and grab an extra passenger side (might be drivers side) axel and take it home. Lop off a few inches from the longer side to make them even. Weld up your spring perches and have st it. 7 1/4 can last a while but it could break that afternoon. I ran around with a 360 in front of my old 7 1/4 and I drag raced on street tires and did countless burnouts. I got super lucky.
