Does anyone know if i can put a dana 44 and leave my stock axle? Im not sure if they have to be the same. I would imagine that as long as they are geared the same they should be ok?

 

As long as they are geared the same you are fine. Theoretically you could stick a 1-ton dually axle in the front as long as the gear ratio was the same, pumpkin was in correct position, and it had reverse cut gears.

 

^Yep! 4x4 F150s came with either 8.8s front and rear or 8.8 front and 9.75 rear. Only problem is getting gears that are the same ratio for two different axles.

 

Well you got me thinking so I went on google. Here is what I found http://www.supermotors.net/registry/21210/71645

 

I saw that truck online a while back...Not my favorite solid axle project, nothing against it but it's just not the best way to do a coil setup... That thing needs some major reworking to be functional/capable...

I'm sure he went back to the drawing board since those pics...

 

Yea I certainly hope so! The spring mounts are sketchy looking

 

Yea i saw that build and wasnt all too impressed haha, but it does give me some ideas. I just want to make sure eveeythings right before i start buying stuff and choppin lol
