Axel swap 97 f super duty to 97 f 250

[bones91]

i was wondering if the 97 f super duty axles would bolt up to a 97 f250 hd frame

 

[Dieselcrawler]

not bolt right in. and why would you want to do that? superduty axles are 10 lug....

Sent u a pm if u can call me plz

 

[Dieselcrawler]

I will just start with this before calling. spring pad widths are different, u joint on driveshaft is different, 5.13 or 4.88 gears only, 10 lug pattern, and no parking brake provision on the axle itself.

My parking brake is inoperable anyways Everything else looks same on this one

 

[Dieselcrawler]

is it 10 lug?

make sure you're dealing with the same bolt pattern. '99 and up looks the same until you try bolting in your older wheels.
there's no mistaking a '98 and down superduty axle.

10 lug but it's obs

 

[Dieselcrawler]

trust me. spring pad widths on the d135 rear axle are narrower than on your sterling in the f250. also the ujoint is different size.

I was just going to pull The rear axle and the spindles and everything off the front axle
