Rear Axle
I currently have a 1995 f150 regular cab 4wd . It has a stock 8.8 inch rear end. I bought a ford 9 inch with 4.88 gears. How would I go about doing this swap. (pics would be great)

What transmission does the truck have, if it's an automatic it won't work right with the 9" in there since it doesn't have a VSS, and neither will your speedo.

Thank you for the reply. I was looking for something like that vs buying the tone ring relocator.
