when each side measures the same that rules that out but ill just admit im wrong and im high as **** or drunk or stoned or just retarded when i said my rears are wider and just let the OP know that im full of **** and that i was wrong for stating 14 bolts are wider when both of mine are wider

oh i forgot one i have no clue how to read a tape measure either

 

Thats a shame.

I guess you won't be able to crawl under there real Quick to measure from the outside of the leaf spring to the face of the backing plate on your 14 bolt and tell me that it's about 5 1/2 inches Just like on a 10 bolt???

 

Soooo yah OP, Your 10 bolt will be perfectly fine.

 

6.125

 

Lol cool! I'm too poor to afford a 14 bolt right now anyways lol. So I got the 10 bolt and dropped off with JamesB chassis works last night. Going with everything I mentioned earlier and he recommended 33 spline axles and the trutrac to match. Anyone else run 33 spline axles over the stock 30 I believe?

 

Im on stock spline count, don't see many guys snapping axles on these trucks. But hey, the more the merry

 

1bad2k you're gonna love it when you're finnished. I went to about the same setup under mine but you hace a shorter wheel base and waayyyyy less weight the 149 made it so much fun to drive.

 

Unfortunately it doesn't look like they make anything but 28 and 30 spline truetrac for the 10 bolt...30 spline it is.

Yeah man, I can't wait. The truck ran like a raped ape before the 80e. I think I'll be back there after the gears, and the 149 is so much better than the 246 that's in there now.

 

1fastbrick I have a 2000 suburban 2500 14 bolt 9.5 any updated info on fitting that in 2000-2006 1500 pick up ? brake fitment? axles? I know i asked about a year ago but didnt know if you had new info

 

The stock axles are stout, but they don't snap, they tend to bend. Myself and many others have done it.
