Well, since you were kind enough to hint that it's a 1500 4X4 'Burb by your 6 lug reference, and want no fab involved, Your choices include only 8.5" K series units from' '88-99 and gear choices are plentiful, so be ready to verify and know what you have. a 9.5 or 10.5" 14 bolt 2500-3500 axle will require mods, not to mention, are 8 lug.
