Default Expedition rear axle assembly into my F150?

I need a new rear axle assembly for my 2000 4.6L 2wd XLT extended cab, disk brakes. The pinion nut worked it's way loose (?) and the bearing preload changed, and either the bearing is shot or the gear set up has moved, it's starting to whine. I don't want to mess with it and would rather just swap a complete used OEM unit into the truck. What other rear axle assemblies will work? What about the Expedition?

Expedition axles wont bolt up. The expeditions all either multi link coil suspension or IRS, F150s are all leaf spring rears from the factory. I think any axle out of a 2wd ext cab from 97-03 should work though.
