Default Need a 2004 f150 front gear swap write up

just wondering if there is a good write up on the front. not so much setting up the gears as what needs to be removed to get to it. Can the pumpkin be left mounted or do I need to remove it from the truck.

Thanks
David

Unbolt axles and remove from your truck.

I looked at changing gears in my 05. After looking at the job, I decided the easiest and cheapest thing to do would be to buy a used differential and change the whole unit.

do the axles have flanges similiar to the driveshaft or do you have to take apart the front suspension and pop them loose like an old 8.8 irs
