Well, my brother was able to pick up the 8.8 ring gear size bearings. I don't have a micrometer, but they appear to be the same size as what came out. The 2.57 and 2.99 OD were the only size available, unless as Foxhound says I need to start calling around to different sply houses. What do you think?

Your axle uses the 8.8 bearings... You have a rare condition, seems there were some leftover 99 and earlier 9.75 axle housings Ford wanted to use... These had some interchangeable parts with the 8.8

You'll be all set with the 8.8 bearings

Default yukon bearing

I looked on the Yukon site and they show the 9.75 with two bearing sizes. Both the 2.530 and 2.985. The 8.8 diff also uses the 2.530, so my brother is picking up the 8.8 size and I'll see if I can finish this bugger up before dark

Thanks for everyones' input.
