    I was looking in the manual for brakes, there are two different P/Ns. For my education how do I identify if I have a 2400-lb axle or 2900-lb axle?
    Note: my trim tag is not present...


    TIA

    I would say the 2400 is a 10 bolt cover with 2" wide shoes while the 2900 is the 12 bolt with 2 1/2" wide shoes,,,,see what you got,,,,,
