Not sure what I have - IFS or Solid Axle

Hi my name it Ty and this is my first post. I just bought the truck and I am not sure what type of solid axle/ braking set up I have. I ordered factory parts for the truck to replace the rotor, brakes, and caliper and then realized I was incorrect. Here are 2 pictures. It is a 6 lug solid axle but that is all I know.

95 are Independent Front Suspension (IFS), you don't have the solid axle truck. If you are going to a parts store, they could have the wrong information for your truck. I have helped a couple of parts stores in my area get the correct information in their computers.

I second that, It is not a solid front axle, that is IFS. Looks like its all factory but I don't own one to compare it too.

That was in the FAQ area somewhere... may help identify what you have but as far as the brakes go, I haven't read into that yet. Although I need to cause I've noticed some splatter on my wheel

It would be helpful to know how/why the parts you ordered are incorrect. Too big, too small? What's the problem?

Yes, it's IFS. No, it's not stock(the suspension at least). No, he doesn't need to know the axle code to work on the brakes.
