I need to take the rear end off and I already have one to put on from a 2007 Silverado 1500 with the same gear ratio I have a 2 ton floor jack and two 2 ton jack stands its probably simpler than what I think it is just give me some pointers or instructions so I don't **** anything up
Jack up the rear end high and place chassis rails on stands. Remove wheels . disconnect brake hose to the rear and use a hose pincher to stop brake fluid leaking out . Disconnect the hand brake cable at a convenient point ( probably at the rear of the transmission. Disconnect the drive shaft at the diff pinion and lay to one side . Place the jack under the diff housing centre and take a bit of weight. . If you have leaf springs --undo the "U" bolts around the housing . If coil springs undo the track rods by removing all the pivot bush bolts. Lower the diff housing down and pull out from under the car. Make any changes you have to, to the other diff housing before placing it on the jack and placing it under the car Reassembly is the reverse process of removal.. Bleed rear brakes on completion of the job.

Fill it Up to the Bottom of the Filler Cap Opening. Should be 3 or 4 Bottles. Please Rate My Response! Thanks!
SOURCE: rear end gear ratio
you can count the teeth on the ring gear and divide that # by the tooth count on the pinion. An example is: ring gear 100, pinion 10 ...100divided by 10 is 10, expressed as 10 to one. (fake #) your diff is likely a 3 series such as 3.23 to 1. or a four series such as 4.11 to 1. If you have four wheel drive it is critical to match exactly. if not you can get better performance by changing ratio to something that better fits your needs. 4 series pull loads well, 3 series are better on fuel.(depending upon terrain)

Give the dealer your Vin# and ask that question
Or turn the wheels one turn & count the pinion
