Well it’s been a long time and I have finally found my new rig…

1990 Eddie Bauer Edition
Rough Country 4” lift and 2” coil spacers
Lifted GM Shackles for the rear (not yet installed)
32/11.50 on stock rims
Cut Fenders
CB radio
Custom Length Rear Drive Shaft
Stock 2.9
Auto Hubs
Still trying to figure out if it has the Dana 35 up front (ID tag missing)

Future possible mods include…Warn Manual hubs, Manual floor shift T-case, 8.8 Rear axle, lower gearing, Pace Performance Flex Flares, Steel Rims, Full size spare, and what ever I feel like needs to be done in order to be satisfied with the power from the motor.

I went thought the tech Library and the posts under the Axle section of the forum and am still having a hard time on figuring out if the front axle is a Dana 35 or not and what gears are in both axles.
If any one can lend some more help on how to identify my axles and gearing. I would appreciate and could use the help.

dana 28 i think is what you have in it
 
take a picture from the front and back of it and we can ID it for you. as far as gears you can check the door sticker that has the axle code on it and use it in the library to identify the ratio.

about a 25% chance being a dana 35 and 75% chance being a dana 28

I count 10 on the front... So is that a for sure way to tell its a Dana 35.

7.5 rear and d35
 
Yep, D35 for sure (in that year, you don't have to worry about "hybrid" ones).

Looks like you need a bigger drop pitman arm for the steering though.
 
Right Arm!!

Thanks for the help, and I will look into the drop pitman along with all the other things for the lift. Thanks again for all the help.
