Correct me if I'm wrong but... The gen 1 lightning uses the same 8.8" rear end that the reg F150s use... No? If that's the case, just swap some 4.10s into your current axle.

They do use the same 8.8" rear end. Just 4.10 with Trak-Lock.

You can accomplish that by installing a new carrier with a trac-lok... Check my sig, I've got 4.10s and a trac-lok in my rear end.

Same 8.8 yes, but the lightning housing has extra strength added to it. You can tell the difference because the pumpkin is ribbed, I just helped a buddy change rear brakes and ebrake cables on a 93 lightning so i got up close and personal.

here is the official difference: The Lightning housing, unique to the Lightning, can be identified by its cooling fins on the pumkin and 3" axle tubes, compared to the 2 1/2 axle tubes on the regular F150 housing.
