Dana 44 rear brake rotor height?

[Alex01]

Does anyone have a set of OEM rear brake rotors for a dana 44 laying around that could measure the height or me? I bought an aftermarket set not long ago and want to verify that they aren't shorter since it would negatively affect backspacing and impact the task I'm working on.

@mrblaine?

Height can't affect back spacing. The only part that affects back spacing is the thickness of the rotor hat where the studs stick through. I can't imagine enough variation there to matter.

That part on mine is 1-13/16

No it isn't. It is about .250 thick.

No it isn't. It is about .250 thick.

My measurement was based off this part.

The face is almost perfectly flat.

@Alex01 I have mine off right now. What measurements do you want?

I was thinking this one would tell me.

Okay, I’ll go back out to my shop. I took this one. Give me a few minutes.

Here ya go.

There goes that theory. 1/4" spacer it is.

Thanks for measuring @Daryl

Again, that dimension does not affect back spacing. It can't or the rotor won't fit.
