Default Size Of Brake Drums, 9" or 11" For A Quad Cab ?

I have a 2000 Quad Cab, 2wd and will be ordering front & rear brake kits. What size are the rear drums, 9" or 11" ?


Do the Quad Cabs have the larger brake's than the regular cab because of more weight, or what males the difference ?

Even easier - jack the back up on one side, remove the wheel, look for the "MAX DIA" marking.

If it's in metric, it'll be slightly over 230mm for 9" drums, slightly over 254 for 10", and slightly over 280 for 11" drums.

(If in inches, well, a 9.030" max won't clear shoes for a 11" drum, and a 11.090" is way to big for 9" ... )
