and I know what you mean now, I am rated at 8600, i had to check the door again today

I would guess then you need it for the 8500/8600 and up. Have you decided what you are going to do with the rotors?

I kind of have an idea, and it involves me buying a new set from autozone
will haveing 4x2 make a difference on the bearing issue, or are the rotors all the same?

i would recheck that, it may be the load for the rear axle, also, could the engine you have affect that?

I remember when I had my 81 flareside. I went to get brake pads and they asked me what my truck weighed.
AZ- weight of your truck
Me- half ton
AZ- no, actual weight
Me- with or without mud?, Your'e joking right.
AZ- no sir
Me- I never look at my truck and tell her that she looks like she's gaining weight... Now that I think about it she is a little sluggish.

I wound up guessing at the lightest weight since it was a flareside and got it correct. I now tell them make, model, weight, color, and where she lives to try to get the right parts.
