A Body LARGE bolt pattern rear brakes

bill,

you can use your LBP 8.25 backing plates...brakes..and drums with those axles..i have swapped out two 8 3/4 like that...

but one thing according to Dr Diff...if you have the clutch style sure grip...watch out for the Yukon axles...he says they are too short to properly engage the sure grip.....in other words..they are too short...they only engage about 1/8 inch..

one thing went your order from him...he asks questions about your 3rd member...kind of kinky...

Can you recheck your facts on this one? By saying that "someone" says "there is only 1/8" of engagement" you are passing on, what I believe is false information. I believe he had mentioned that the Yukon axles, have 1/8" less engagement than the axles he cuts/supplys. If I remember correctly, that is what he told me. 1/8" total engagement on yukon 8.75 axles is incorrect. Another 8.75 issue is the thrust button, NOT needed for green bearing applications, but is needed for standard axle bearings. That can also change the effective spline engagement.
