The rear end are different than F150's etc. Might be similar/same as a Lincoln Navigator. The Expy/Navi use coil or air spring rear suspensions where the trucks are leafs. There are 2 kinds of diffs in the expy. One is the 8.8 and the other is a 9.75" rear. Most 5.4L came with 9.75 rear end. 4.6L non-trailer tow probably has the 8.8". Get your tag number off the rear axle and that will give you some information. What exactly do you want to know?

It won't fit without some work. They may be the same diff. size but that is it. Mounts are different, frames are different, and there isn't any similarities between the 96 model year and the 97+ years. What is exactly wrong with it?

A ballpark figure for repairing a bad rear end...if I was to guess...an easy grand. Or, buy it cheap and look for a replacement in a junk yard.
