Default What Size Brake Shoes / Drums

Anyone know what size brakes shoes I need? Apparently they made two sizes. I've got the Dana 35 if that is how you can tell or not.

Thanks, Sean

So just measure from the O.D. after I pop off the wheel?

Where are the fins? on the outside?

Okay so the outside of the drum has ridges on it, and the outside diameter measures like 10 1/2 inches or so.

10" brake shoes / drums?

If you have fins on the outside they are 10" drums, if the outside is smooth they are 9" drums. If they measure 10.5" then 10" it is.
