Swapping rears.

I have a 1990 f250 302 2wd with the 10.25 rear in it. I wanted to put in an 8.8 or 9". Has anyone done something like this before?- Rich

Why would you want to do that?

If your 10.25 is busted, put another 10.25 in it.

The 8.8 and 9" use 15" wheels with 5 lugs, the 10.25 uses 16s and 8 lugs.

Not really an easy swap or a smart one since your putting a weaker axle under the truck.
