that is of course if it is the 8.8 inch rear end. what year and engine is it?? i also bought new brakes from them as well because my rt side axle bearing sh$% the bed and the seal leaked out on my rear shoes.
i just bought them and installed them in my truck. Really good deal for the money, they come with axles, bearings, seals and , wheel studs!!
On the ground then it will probably take about 4-5 hours depending on your skill level. u will need a slide hammer or puller to remove the bearings from the axle housing.
