well from what I understand the F250 and up have diffrent size rear ends then the F150 and even the F150 7700 series has a diffrent size rearend then a 150. Im assuming that you have a 3:55 or even a 3:31 ratio in the truck now, which would mean that you would have a 8.8" rearend so you can't just get the gears out of a bigger truck you need to get gears for the 8.8 and if you plan on using 4x4 you need to do the gears in the front axel which is also a 8.8" and those gears are reverse cut.

well in that case you should be able to get 3:73's from a f150 for the front and back, but if it was me i would check out how musch it is to get ones from a used/scraped truck compared to getting a new set. but if it was me and I was spending the money on gears I would go with 4:10's and to get those you need to buy new ones

why not search ebay. You may find some gears with low miles because they swapped gears after a lift and tire upgrade.
