f150 gearing

were the f150's from 99-03 available with 3.73's or were they only offered with 3.55's

dont know if there's a section with this info, but i'd appreciate it if someone pointed me in the right direction.

I have a 2002 sales brochure. According to it, a 3.73 LS rear differential was available but only on the 7700 lb. Payload Package.

BTW, the 7700 lb Payload Package uses a completely different rear axle than models without this package. Ford axles come with ring gears in three sizes, 8.8, 9.75, and 10.25. The 3.73 gear for this package would be a 10.25 ring gear. Therefore your dealer may not be able to get a factory gear set for your truck. You should however be able to find a 3.73 gear set in the aftermarket most anywhere.

I recently looked at a 03 F150 FX4 SuperCrew. It had 3.73's. They were an option but seems most had 3.55's.
