Hope my title made a little sense. I am in the planning process of a straight axle swap on my '99 XLT/4.0/auto Planning on using a '78 D44 FW, 5.13, and Truetrac in the front. Was originally thinking 9" rear but then realized that I'd lose VSS in stock rear end.
Now my question is, Could I pull an 8.8 out of an F-150 that would have a compatible VSS. I know that I could change transfer cases to gain back a VSS but I really don't want to add that to the list of parts needed.
Will be running 37X12.50R17 so strength of either should be sufficient.
