I know it in the forum somewhere, just don't have the seat time to look for it, my heep is a 1994 i6 4x4 auto, im getting new u-bolts for the rear but am putting 3inch blocks on until i can get the full traction 3.5kit,. Im going to the local spring shop to get the u-bolts (they make them) how do i tell what rear diff i have??
