I have a 1988 7.3 with a 3.55 rear axel and i was wondering what would be the easist and cheapest way to increase its carrying capacity? How much dollars would be talking about for the upgrade.
Many thanks GUYS.

My 89 wears 4:10 gears. If your local to me (Rapid City SD) I would be happy to talk about a swap if its 4x4. I could do 3:55s and just use 1st gear now and then.
