rear end and front end question
I am gonna build my F-150 for wheelin and want to know what is the strongest front and rears for these trucks? I am not sure whats in it now. It is a 92 f-150.

well i have a 94 f150 and it has a 8.8 in the rear, and it has the twin beam axle in the front and i am sure thats a dana 44, they r doing pretty good so far and i am running 33's and i am pretty hard on em

I'm pretty sure all f150 come from the factory with dana 44 fronts and 8.8 rears. Axle size is going to depend greatly on tire size. If you do switch them out I'd go with one ton's and call it a day.

They do make a 5 ton but the 2.5 axles have been used for years on rock crawlers. A friend of mine built a wide-base TJ with the Rockwell 2.5's and a 502. Massive beast. I couldn't imagine ever needing the 5 ton axles, unless they were under a 5 ton truck...

thread jacker!
i doubt you would even be able to find 5 ton parts. theres bunches of custom truck shops that specialize in 1 ton and 2.5 ton builds.
or if you just want a little bigger axles, pull the ones out of an old dodge. the fronts a chrystler dana or somethin and the rears a 9" i think. i dunno either one, those were guesses
