    Quick question. Did any Maverick Grabbers ever come out with a 9" rear end. Even as an option or special order. There is someone selling one on craigslist saying it came out of a maverick grabber.
    Thanks

    Chances are it's an 8 inch. They look about the same to the untrained eye. If it is a 9 inch, someone put it there.

    The quick way to tell if it a 9" is if you have to use an open end wrench to turn the two nuts under the pinion. No direct shot at those with a socket.

    If you can use a socket wrench all the way around the pumpkin, it is an 8.

    Maverick is 56.50" wheel mounting surface to surface. I bet that is what he was measuring cause 57" flange to flange is a pickup truck rear.

    1/4" difference is nothing to make up. Sounds like a nice find!

    :)
