F-150 FF Rear?
I have a 92' F-150 4WD and would like to swap the rear end for a full floater rear end.
Was there a FF 8.8" axle made or only the 8 lug 3/4 tons made in FF?
I'm guessing there wasn't but thought I'd check.
I guess if I got a 3/4 ton 8 lug front and rear end and swapped both front and rear maybe. But is there a version of front and rears that would be basically a bolt in or would it require fabbing up a lot?
I'll be taking it down to the frame and rebuilding it but don't want to have to do a lot of fab work.
Cheers, Allen

OK, I think I found the answer to my question.
Why is it I can spend couple hrs looking for info and 10 mins after I post the question on a forum, I stumble onto the info?!
From what I gather, all 8.8" 5 lug rear ends are semi floaters. But if I want to get a stronger rear end, I could use a 9.75" 5 lug rear and put HD axles in it and would have a nice fairly HD rear end. And it would be simpler than trying to swap in 3/4 ton 8 lug axles/housings both front and rear.
Is this correct?
