The standard 4x4 S10 rear is 59". Most are 7.5 rear gear. Look for a '96-up loaded 4x4 (NOT ZR2 offroad package...they're 63"). Then look for the axle tubes to flare up a bit bigger right before they enter the pumpkin. That's the 8.5 rear. The common 7.5 rear has axle tubes the same size all the way into the pumpkin.
