Default 96 F150 Stock Drive shaft with a Sterling 10.25?

So the only question I have left unanswered until I do the Sterling 10.25 swap on my truck is will the stock drive shaft fit properly under the truck with the new Sterling axle? Any input would be appreciated.. Thanks

If I remember correctly your 1/2 ton driveshaft should have 1330 series u-joints, and the 10.25 has 1350 series. The easiest way to make it work is get a 1330-1350 conversion u-joint like this http://www.dennysdriveshaft.com/p480...reaseable.html

you also have to consider the proper lenght to cause 10.25 is bigger of course but the pinion to yoke sticks out further so the shaft might need to be cut and rewelded by pro of course then balanced
