Post Standard Suspension or Heavy Duty ?

Trying to buy some replacement brake parts. They want to know if it is a Heavy Duty Suspension or not... They don't know how to tell the difference.
Uh, how do I tell the difference?

What exactly are you looking to buy?

I know Rock Auto separates the pads and whatnot into general usage categories like 'economy', 'daily driver' & 'High Performance/Heavy Duty'.

However, that's essentially just a good,better,best type of deal.

10" and 9"? I thought that was a 7.5" rear end vs a 8.8" rear end. With a 2.3 I figure you would have a 7.5, but your door sticker will tell you that...and you said you have 10" Guess I don't know, sorry.
