Title: Axle length
Post by: Chevy Truck Guy 86 on May 26, 2012, 04:18:03 pm

I was working on my truck today then somehow I noticed that the front axel looked like it wider. So I took a tape measure and measured the two, and sure enough the front axle is 3 inches longer than the rear. I also saw a video on youtube where the front was longer. I'm pretty sure I have my original axle on so do you guys know if that was factory for GM?

     Yes, that is normal on some of our trucks.
