ok looking for a 10.25 sterling rear axle drw, anyone have one close to wv that is wanting to get rid of it? i have a srw 4.10 10.25 axle for trade plus boot. also i have a factory traction-loc for the 10.25. i would rather find an axle that is bad (ring and pinion bad, carrier bad) that has a good housing. so can anyone help me out?

Depending on what you're working on, you could also snag a set of dually adapters.:dunno

10.25

I could be wrong, but I dont think Ford made a DRW 10.25 rear axle. I believe all 97 and older trucks that were duallys had dana axles, a 70. At least everyone I have ever seen was. I have a front and rear set of dually adapters from a centurian conversion if your interested.

Yes , I have the dually rear that has the 4.10 LS from a 97 dually. This unit is complete with hubs and has never been opened. REply if this something you may be interested in.

Nope, all the older trucks pre-97 had 10.25 duallys except the F-superduty 450s that had Dana 80s.
If you got an F350 cab & chassis it came with a narrower dually axle then a reg pickup dually axle. So if your after a wider dually axle make sure it came from a pickup.

you're wrong.
10.25's were they only option in F250's and F350's 1986 and up SRW, DRW and commercial chassis DRW. IF you were a F450, you got the dana 80 ( completely different monster). E seriers vans still got the dana 70 rears on many HD applications.

ok on my f350 srw i have cut out fender flares, well if you look at the trk from the rear it looks like the rear tires are tucked up in there pretty far. well i did some measuring and for the rear wheels to look right i need them to be between 3 to 4 inches(on each side) wider apart. i am figuring that a drw will put me to where i need to be. i found a cab and chassis drw 10.25 rear axle but i measured it and it was the same as my srw axle. the only differance was where the spring perches were on the axle. so now im looking at a reg pickup drw axle. i didnt really want to run spacers, but depending on cost i might be interested. i have three 10.25 srw axles, i would be interested in some trading, but due to milage i dont believe that would happen. one is 4.10 ls, one is 4.10 reg. and one is 4.56 ls with 500 miles on it, fully rebuilt with new clutches and all. now the way i have been measuring them is from where the axle tube is pressed into the center section to the flange (where the backing plate bolts on) foxman, will you please measure your axle from there on both sides and let me know what the measurement is please? also idipwr, how wide are your adapters? may i get some pics of your adapters please? i am very interested in these items. thank you for bearing with me.

The DRW for a pickup is four inches wider hub to hub if I remember my measurements correctly. As stated above one for a cab and chassis is just a standard width axle on a narrower frame.

i found out today that the drw axle is 4 inches wider then the srw, so brimmstone you are correct. now, i am looking for that axle. so if anyone has a 10.25 axle they want to sell, or adapters like me know a price. i will need them soon.

go find an e350 limo bus.they have a dana70HD in them that will fit a DRW pickup.you have to cut the spring perches off and move them in or out an inch or 2.its been a few years since i did mine.

on edit:you lose your rear sway bar.brakes are the same,u joint is the same.8 lugs
