Determing which axle I have...

Where on my '94 F-250 Supercab, 4wd, longbed,
460 can I figure out which axles were put under my truck?

That's a mouth full! Thanks

You have a Ford/Sterling 10.25 in the back. I'm not sure up front because I'm not too familiar with 4WD's buy I would guess Dana 50 or 60.

From the factory it was a D50 front, and a Sterling 10.25 full-floater rear (there is also a semi-float Sterling, but it's was used on the light-duty F250s, which yours clearly ain't).

Since we know what kind of axles I have. What are your thoughts on leveling the truck with an add a leaf up front and adding 5100 Bilstein's?

Does anyone know if the add a leaf springs have to be tapered? Read on another forum non tapered would not work.

Thanks!
