Default Can anyone let me know if this is a good deal?

I'm wanting to get my axles referred and I'm wondering if this is a bargain or if I should just buy new? Any advice is appreciated

Thats a really good deal.. you nees to check your door jamb sticker {axle code} to make sure you have a 8.8 rear end..

Most have 9.75 rear reverse 8.8 front

If they work for your truck then buy them. That's a crazy good deal. If not still buy them and order the right stuff for the rear diff and sell those.

seems like a good brand even summit sells them so


can you tackle it by yourself? eh maybe...... you need to do a lot of reading on setting backlash/preload/tooth dept

I believe rear ends were like this:
4.6 4x4=8.8
4.6 2x4=8.8
5.4 2x4=8.8
5.4 4x4=9.75

I think the heavy half was larger yet? You can also check Randy's pinion to dbl check. The fronts will be 8.8 reverse cut.

Standard gear might be Yukon's "budget" line.

Count the diff cover bolts. 10 bolts is 8.8 12 bolts is 9.75. My 2008 5.4 super crew 2wd has the 9.75 rearend 3.73 with trak lok.
