: Brake rotors.....again.

I'm replacing the rear rotors on my 2001 2500HD with the 8.1. There are two sizes for the rotors. They come with 4.63" or 4.84" center holes. I'm assuming the larger 4.84" holes would be for the bigger rear axle for the D-max and 8.1

Am I correct in assuming my trucks needs the rotors with the 4.84" hole?

Mossy - from what I've seen, you are correct....the 11.5" rear ends take the larger center hole rotors.
Having said that, if it was me, I would still take the wheel off and take a measurement, just to be sure...

The difference might be for dual rear wheels?

The difference might be for dual rear wheels?No, that's not the case...
The 4.63 vs 4.84 only comes into play with the 2500HD trucks..
