What makes the difference? My truck is currently an automatic, with a long bed. Planning to drop it 3", but heard from a buddy the rear may be 2.5, not 3". Please advise, TIA! Dan
I do mean: The rear axle diameter. Is it 2.5" or 3". I know 3" is the standard size. I'm ready to pull the trigger. Just dont want to deal with restocking if they are not 3". Please advise guys. I know many of you know. TIA
Can you not go outside with a tape measure and measure it? Seems that would be the quickest and easiest, I tried to look it up but found nothing, probably same as you.
its a crap shoot with the early trucks as to which axle you got with what trim. may be a 8in with 4:10's and a 3in tube, or could be a 7.5in with 3:73's and a 2.5in tube. ive even seen a 75 SR5 with a factory 4:56 and a 5speed. could be a mix of all with a taper at the end... 1st step: look at and decode your build plate 2nd step: make sure someone hasnt swapped a different axle in. 3rd step: measure your $hit 4th step: underpants 5th step: ??? 6th step: profit
The truck is *buried* in our barn(tons of exterior furniture,mowering equip, etc) .It would only be quicker and easier if no one else can for me, lol. Well I ordered lowering blocks that have 3" U bolts. I was already placing an order and wanted to toss these into the order too (free shipping). Once I unload the barn in the spring, I will get under there and measure. Thanks guys.
