I have a 1995 F150 with an open 3.55 also. Since the truck has RABS, do I need to find a compatible carrier? I seem to recall a problem with that when I was planning to use a Mustang Trac-Lok in my 91 Ranger. The carrier was different because of the RABS exciter ring. Will the FRPP 31 spline 8.8 Trac-Lok differential (PN M4204F318) fit?

yeah i saw it, thats where i got my 4.10s. but summit racing is not charging me handling fees so im only paying 10 bucks more. plus the one on summit racing has more specs on what it has which makes me more confident in ordering it and knowing it will fit. 
. is the pinion spline count on my 8.8'' rear end 30? cause the install kit for the ring and pinion says its for a pinion spline of 30.

The 8.8 spline count in your truck should be 31.
Oh, and can you let us know how those 4.10s work out for ya? I am really thinking about putting those in. You have a 351W/E4OD right? Thanks man...

yeah the axle spline count is 31. but is the pinion spline count different? cause the install kits i see on summit are all for an 8.8 with a pinion spline count of 30. and ill be sure to post up the results of the gears if all goes right they should be in my truck in about 2 weeks
