8.5" Rear Axle Ring & Pinion Specs?

[~JM~]

I had the clearances, back-lash & torque specifications saved at one time. Unfortunately the link is dead or missing.

Anyone know where that information is available at this time?

Thanks.

I see two 8.5" listings. Listed as: (2-Cut) & (5-Cut)

Which one of the two describes the TR rear axle?

I believe the 5 cut. I usually run the backlash at .006-.010, so that is what I usually use.
