Axle width sifferences 92 to 01 8.25 to 9.25 - 01/16/17 06:26 PM
I am building up a 92 D150 clubcab. It has the stock 8.25 rear end. I will be towing with this thing and I have an 01 parts truck sitting by that has a 9.25 rear end.
I would assume the 9.25 is a stronger piece, but from the 92 1st gen ram to the 2nd gen ram is there a difference in width. I am going to fab on some 06 rear disc brakes, but still want to run some 17" US Mag Indy mags with a decent dish so I don't need a wider axle.
So, is the 01 axle wider? if so, where can I find a 9.25in rear end with 5 on 5.5 bolt pattern that is the same width or narrower than the one I have.
