The demensions on the 99-07 classic GMT 800 plat forum are basically the same. You have a couple options for housings.
I like the 99-07 1500HD 2500LD 14 bolt 9.5 Option. They were 8 lug from the factory. You you can order 2 new axles for a 88-98 4x4 with 6Lug and swap them right in. The only thing you have to do is lower the Leaf perch or replace it with a new one and replace the factory brake flange with a custom made one. The shock mounts and everything else are correct already so no need to hack them all up.

So I got the axles and lugs built to spec and I have moved on to the housing. Has anyone ever seen dimensions for the inside of the housing cover? Also I'm looking around to see how long the larger diameter axle tubes are that connect to the housing. I know that explanation sucked so check out the attached pic. Either of the two dimensions will work. Thanks
