Do be aware that if you are interested in the dually rear axle, it may not fit your truck.
Ford had two frame widths in the mid 80's trucks.
Cab and chassis had a 34" wide frame.
Trucks that left the factory with a bed installed have a 37.5" wide frame.
An axle that runs dual wheels on a 34" frame will not clear the springs with an inner tire on a 37.5" frame and the spring perches on the axle will not line up with the springs.
Your best option to contact SAlexander may be a PM or Email.
