Default brake size
I just ordered new brakes. and I did not get ceramic pads cause they were waaaay too expensive[:'(] but anybody know what size of brakes go on the rear of a 8.25 axle? there was either 9" or 10" brakes. I went with 10". so I hope I'm right

rockauto.com lists both 9 and 10 inch as proper fitment. Manual says the 'maximum' size is stamped on the drum. I would say since it lists a 'max' size, and from what rockauto says, you are probably good to go.

The size should be listed on the door of your glovebox. Either there or in between the door and the ext cab.
