Default Rear diff bearings

So I basically ****ed my rear diff bearings (English is not my main language but I think the are called bearing I mean the 2 whit the bolts that holds the diff in place) but the problem is I have a 2001 5.9 sport off-road edition whit a towing pack is it correct that I have the 4.10 ratio? And if not what brand of bearing should I order and meanly where can I get the best parts in the us? I normally use rockauto.com.
thanks in advance for anyone that can help

I think the off-road edition had 4.10s but that has no relevance for the bearings. AFAIK only 1500s came as off-road edition so you need the bearings for a Chrysler 9.25 rear axle.

The differential has carrier bearings and pinion bearings. Do you know which ones you need? The carrier bearings are on each side of the center section of the rear and the pinion bearings are behind the U-joint inside the rear.

I am thinkin' if the carrier bearings are toast, it would be a good idea to at least inspect the pinion bearings as well.

He said "the two with the bolts that hold the diff in place" so I'm guessing 99.9% chance carrier bearings.

Randy's Ring and Pinion would be a great source, OP
