measure the diameter of the axle and then measure the thickness of the pack and id say add like 3 inches to that for good measure

D35's use 2 3/4" ubolts.. 8.25 uses 3" ubolts..

For the D35 here is the measurements you need.. 2.75" X 9" X 1/2", 9" is the lenght, 2.75" is the I.D. and 1/2" is the rod diameter.

Also you can adjust the length if need be.. the rod diameter and the I.D. must remain constant.
