I found a 9 inch for my offroad bII but I never messed with one before. The bone yard has no idea what it's out of how can I tell what I'm getting before I buy it. I understand big bearing is what I'm after. But with out tearing it down I have no idea. If it helps it still has axle tag and it's supposed to have 3.00 gears. HELP PLEASE !!!!

Well do you plan to go full width or do you want something narrow to match your factory wheel track? You can start by taking some measurements of the 9" axle. See what bolt pattern it is and measure the wheel mounting surface.

I am leaving full width I don't like how easy the bII flips I know added flex will help. And I'd like to see where I'm putting my wheels

So I found a site that shows you how to read the entire tag so I guess if it ends up having a 31 spline it would be a big bearing ? And these are more desirable for my application ?
