Front axle question ??????

Is there any differance between a F-250 and F-350 front axle assembly SWR. I need to replace the whole thing will the tie rods shocks and springs all bolt up? I have a 350 but there are a lot more 250's around.

I believe that the only difference is the leaf packs, but hopefully someone in the know will chime in.

Thank you Trdlty that is what I was looking for. I guess I should make sure I have a d60 and stick with that. Some genious that had the truck before me I guess had a big lift on it and decided to cut the OEM sway bar bracket off the axle housing and weld a different one on that is about 6 inches long and the weld looks like crap and I have terrible bump steer. I think my only option is going to be a whole axle because they welded it so hot it looks like they almost cut the axle tube

When ever I ran into something like that I would contact a couple of salvage yards because they have reference guides when it comes to compatibility of parts.

I took the sway bay off my truck completely. Rides much better. A swaybar will not cause bump steer. Check your trackbar angle compared with the steering angle.

Sorry I think I ment the track bar. It's the big steel bar that is in front of the axle and bolts to the top of the axle housing on the passenger side but it looks like it is located in the wrong spot on that homemade bracket somebody welded on there.
