7 lug conversion?
I know I've seen a thread on this before but I can't find it.
What do I need to know about a 7lug or 7700 conversions onto a SCREW? Is there anything besides money and big parts swapping that needs to be done for this?

Either way buying a complete parts truck is the way to go.
I was going to do this a few years ago but the 7700 "parts" truck I bought was such a nice truck that I didn't have the heart to disassemble it .
Instead I put a good 5.4 in it and sold it.

What is different about the 7700 IFS than the standard? I'm assuming it's not just a couple hubs, and Tbars.
I'm going to start loading up the F150 and I'm not sure 5 lugs can cut it where I want to take it. ..but I don't want an F250 or something else.

That's basically it.

You really don't need 7700 parts. The 5 lug /9.75 is plenty strong. A set of AAL's and 7700 T Bars should more that do it suspension wise (maybe a set of Monroe shocks)

I want the truck to handle Overlanding through some rough country and I've seen 5 lug just shear right off. ..I guess I've seen the same from 6, 7 and 8 lug trucks as well but I'd rather be in the top of the list than the bottom.
There are better vehicles to do what I want but I like the Screw and I'm not ready to sell it off.
