Door Vin Decoding

The service guy told me I had a slightly bent axle today? I would think I would know if I had hit something hard enough to bend an axle...Well anyway, trying to get information off the door vin to check the web for a possible axle assy... I'm trying to find the brake code for my ranger. I can find the axle information just not the brake. I beleive I have the 10.0 inch but want to verify it via the Door Vin.. BRK-B/Axle 86 I "THINK" that translate into 3.73 Non-LS but need the Brake size..Can you help? BTW, wouldn't it be a hell of a smack to bend an axle?

Can you get info on the size of the brakes from the door code sticker?

The Ranger uses a 9-inch rear drum. Limited slip rear axles and vehicles with a GVWR over 4580 pounds use a 10-inch drum.
