Hi all, new to the site. I purchased a '87 f250 6.9. I have some questions about the brake system and axle set ups. The truck has some other axle than stock and RABS is not hooked up. Axle on the truck has reverse thread on drivers side and a 2 on the horizontal gusset on pass side. What axle is this? I am searching out the information regarding going back to a Sterling axle and converting to a disc set up (looking at these http://www.ruffstuffspecialties.com/catalog/STER-DISC.html) or van axles if they will work with same bolt pattern. How do disc work with RABS? and what are different folks oppinions of keeping or bypassing rabs with discs? Wrecking yard has some 2nd gen sterling 10.5 for $500. Looking for information and any advice.
