It might help to go to the correct forum ;-)
You could try looking under the year of F150 you are working on or go to the area about specialized areas of the trucks.
This area just discusses the 12th generation F-150s

While you do happen to be in the wrong year, don't sweat it, a Mod will eventually catch it and move it to the appropriate forum for ya.
Back to the topic. What you might want to look for is the "heavy-half" F150 that they produce late in the 97-03 model run. I believe it was even badged as an F250, but all that it really was is the F150 body and frame with 3/4 ton running gear. They are most easily spotted by the 7-lug axles.
If you just want a heavier rear axle, then you should check for a Dana 60 rear out of an early model year F250. IIRC that track width should match your current running stock.
Just what are you trying to accomplish by swapping to a heavier rearend?
