1995 SRW to DRW axle swap

I have a 1995 F350 SRW 4X4 CC and want to swap to a DRW axle. Can anyone tell me what years of dually axles will fit my frame and spring width

If you have the full floating rearend you shouldn't have to change anything but the rims.

I thought if I did not change the whole housing that I would have to use the conversion kit and I was just looking for the whole rear end but kept running into narrow frames. If I have the room to just put on the wheels that would be cool

For a 95 F350 you will need a 87-97 F350 dually PICKUP axle . NOT a cab-n-chassis axle.

And you can NOT just bolt dual wheels to your SRW axle.. A DRW pickup axle is 6" wider than a SRW pickup axle and that is how you can fit 4 tires in place of 2.

or you can buy a set of dually adapters from here Welcome - Arrowcraft :: Helping You Handle the Road for over 30 years! they will also have the front adapter and the fenders that will bolt to your SRW bedside to make it a dually

I just got to thinking about the anti lock brake. It appears mine is some sort of electronic in the pinion. Did the rigs back to 1987 have something similar or interchangeable?

The VSS sensor is where you get your spedometer reading. and that is why you need a 87-97 axle. 87-91 used the sensor for ABS, but it does the same thing
