Ask him if the RPO option code was AXN.

Most likely he is sending a 1500 HD or 250 0LD 8 lug if its from an 04 and is truely a 9.5 ring and pinion other wise its a 10 bolt. See if he has a vin# and call the dealer.

He got it from another yard. He is delivering it tomorrow, and he said if it is wrong just send it back.

I got a 10 bolt first, then they tried to ship me a 14 bolt/8 lug, them I finally got the right thing more than a month later. Hope you get yours right the first time.

Well, they sent and 8 lug rear end. Is there any way that I could order 6 lug axle's and rotors to fit this? I doubt it, but if there was a way I know 1fastbrick would know.

Only way I know is with a set of custom made brake flange brackets and some 88-98 4x4 6 lug axles. Then your factory 1500 brakes will bolt right up. https://www.performancetrucks.net/fo...thread-467473/

That's the same type of unit I used for EvilGMC's truck and that's basically how we ended up doing it. https://www.performancetrucks.net/fo...ctures-477641/

I never found a set of rotors that would work with the offset for that set up.

I have decided to send this rear end back. They did find the proper one for $1250. I am going to go with the 88-98 4x4 6 lug rear. I want to do a different suspension anyways, so it would be a good time to swap it over.
