Rear axle shaft compatibilty
So I need a rear pass axle shaft for my 08 Ram 1500, 4x4 with 3:92 and 9.25 rear end.
When I do searches it only asks me whether it's a 4x4, has the stability track and if it's a Mega Cab.
So is it safe to assume that the 3:55 and 3:92 have the same rear axle shafts? Same number of splines?
Thanks in advance.

I believe 98+ are all 31 spline. So any one should work. Megacab is a 2500 frame and not a 9.25 so forget that.
Be sure to scuff the bearing surface and outer rust edge with emery cloth. Make sure there is no rust or major pitting where it contacts the seal or it will lend up leaking. Ofcourse replace the outer axle bearing and seal while your in there.
