Rear Brake Help Me Guess

[6gun]

I'm out of town and away from my truck which needs rear brakes. I would like to order all the parts so they will be there waiting on me when I get home. Question is do I have the 9" or 10" brakes.


It is a '99 XLT Standard Cab, 4X4 Auto, 4.0, with 4.10 open F/R, if any of that helps. Anybody have a more educated guess than me? I'm thinking 10" since it seems to have more of the heavy duty type options......

Size of brakes depends on overall GVWR of 4580 lbs, not what options. With what you list for your truck, sure should have the 10" brakes.

I can't recall seeing a 4.0L truck with the 8.8" axle having anything but the 10" brakes, so I think you're pretty safe ordering for 10s.

I Must agree 4.0 engine = 8.8" axle

and 8.8" axle = 10" brakes.

Additionally I've never seen a 1993 or later supercab with 9" brakes.

So I'd be very confident betting on 10" brakes on a '98 4.0 4x4.
