91 f150 solid axle conversion
First off hello to everybody second off im looking to get some questions answered. Alright I have a 91 f150 and im swapping the wishbone front end to a dana 44. Now I aquired a set of axles out of a late 70's bronco front axle dana 44 and 9inch rear. Is there any benefit from swapping out my current rear axel for that 9in? What parts will I all need to change or buy for this swap? I'm looking for a 8in or 10in lift anyone know who sells that high of one for my truck?

He swaps newer axles from an... 06 250? Under his 78 bronco. Pretty much the same frame style and he goes over parts needed, spring/shock mounts, etc.

Your 8.8" rear is better than the 9".
What are you looking to make it that tall for?
This link will take you to a straight axle swap done by another member on this site, should help you out.

I though the 9" was a beefier rear end than the 8.8? That's why people choose it for their drag cars? Of course I'm probably wrong?
70s axles are nice though too because they can easily be swapped to 8lugs for larger tires. (Most people run Humvee rims/tires.)

yea i have the 8.8 under it now. The reason im making it that tall is i like lifted trucks and im gonna restore it and i hate how low they sit especially when compared to my superduty. The truck in the end will be more of a pavement pounder than anything. So should I just leave the 8.8 in the rear and just throw the dana 44 under front and call her good?
