The hubs don't matter nearly as much as all the wiring harnesses and computers. You may end up having to rewire the whole truck along with transplanting the drive train.

The Ford F150 7700 is pretty much what you're thinking or buying a Light Duty F250 same thing just renamed. If you want to swap the whole drive train why not just sell your truck and get a F150 7700 or Light duty F250 or a diesel. Swapping the drive train is fine but it wont improve your towing or payload because your suspension is still 1/2 ton
Here's what it has.
7 Lug Rims -
- They have a larger frame then the F150
- Bigger Brakes
- 3:73 rear end from factory
- 4R100 Tranny (tranny behind the diesel)
- Extra leaf in back
- Larger Torsion bars -
- Heavier towing capacity
- Weigh more -
- Larger rotors, I believe 13.5"
- HD shocks
- power steering cooler
- 4700 lbs rear axle
- HD rad, thicker
- HD alternator
- HD battery
- LT tires standard, load range D
- the tranny is the same as a F250 SD and the F350 SD
- 8,600 lbs towing
- 11,500 lbs GCVWR
- 7,700 lbs payload
