Possible axle swapping?
So I want to do a faptor look with my truck. I feel our body style is the best out there but love a prerunner. I am slowly gathering fenders 2011 rims 35s. Faptor graphics
the full nine. But the raptor is 6x135. They make spacers I know and I will sadly be running them in front as is!!! But for the back I am thinking axle swap or?? Can I get a same spline and size axle from a 6x135 axle. ****** the shafts and put into my housing and gears? Anyone done this yet? Can't find anything here or google.

Yes, 04 and up f150s with the 9.75 will work.
If it was me I would buy the whole axle and bolt it in and move the shock mount in where they were on your old axle.
As the 04 and up f150s have the shocks mounted outside the leaf springs.
If you just want to use the axle shafts you can do that just make sure to get the brake rotors as well. If the rotors are a little bigger in diameter then take them and your old 5 lug rotors to a machine shop and have them shaved down to size.

Well I have a LSD 3.73 rear end. I want to go up to like 4.10 because I plan to run 35s but how hard would it be to get that rear end set up in the newer rear end? Because I have been told the factory 4.10 and LSD is rare in our year truck Or is that even true? And how rare would 4.10 and lsd be on a 04+ rear end?
If it would be cost effective I would defently swap axles. Way easier to move spring hoops over redoing breaks lol
