You can install either type of ring and pinion in an 8.6 rearend. What the main difference is the carrier bearings. If you have an 8.6 rearend out of a 99-up truck, then make sure you get an 8.6 install kit. It may still be called an 8.5 install kit, but the years listed next to it will be more current (i.e. 99-up).
