    Forgive my ingorance, but could you can tell me if this is a 9 inch rear? I took a picture of what I understood was the relevant to tell...

    Thanks:clap:

    No its a 8" showing by the bottom nut acess

    On a 9" you can't get a socket on the bottom nut.

    Thanks Joe,
    That's how another member had explained it to me as well. The front seems like it might be accessible with a socket, tho maybe not as accessible. I just figured it best to post a pic and let those who know better lead.

    I'd probably have a much better understanding if I saw a pic of the same pic of a 9 inch.

    Thanks Mr Dirt :cool:
