    What rearend do you have in the car? 8" or 9"? Do you have existing axles for the housing? If so, use that length, it won't change with spline count changes.

    You should be able to measure the housing, write the numbers in the chart on the order sheet and get your axle lengths rom that. Do NOT take anyone else's answer for this, you are ordering custom axles for YOUR housing, measure YOUR housing.

    Also, if you have a 9" you need bearing and bearing retainer info.

    Its a small bearing 9" cut to the same size as the 8" that came outta the car reusing the stock 8" axles with a full spool and 4:11's.
