Hard to tell on my cracked screen but it Looks like you have a later year open knuckle disc brake axle under there? Somewhere in the 76-79 range. Is it a low pinion or high pinion?
Those front leaf blocks are a safety hazard and are actually illegal to use in some states.

Pretty sure it's high pinion?i will double check tomorrow. Is that that what they go off of for axle weight? and the lift is getting changed anyways now that i have the money it was kind of a temporary thing for going off roading.

Find out if it's low or high pinion also if the lockout hub area has the small hubs or big hubs that will tell you which axle it is for the weight rating

On the cover side upper right side of the diff next to the spring u-bolt will be a cast in number, be it 44 or 60. Scrape the crud away to find out. If it is a low pinion 60 with disc brakes, it is 76-77. You still have the axle tag on the left side of the cover. Clean it and give us the numbers.
