Default Super Duty Axles

Ive got a 96 F250 with the ttb front end and recently got my hands on a set of front and rear super duty axles. ive got all the shackles and steering components. sky-manufacturing makes a kit to mount these axles to the obs fords, but i didnt know if since i had the mounting hardware if it would bolt up(minus a few holes in the frame maybe). i havent gotten a chance to measure it up yet but thought id get some feedback from people that have done it before. thank you

What year are the axles because if that front end is a dana 50 they are junk. You would be better off finding 86-97 1 ton rears, they are much stronger have serviceable wheel bearings and your rims will fit.

That is a dana 50 unless it is from a dually. I believe the dana 50's have a number on them might be a sticker I think it says 229, dana 60's say 248 I think. Honestly your ttb front end is stronger, if it is a 50 which I am pretty sure it is.

I know you have the rears already but I would pawn them off and just buy a front dana 60 preferably 1986-91 (they are kingpin much stronger) it will for the most part just bolt in you will need to get a track bar and bracket and you might need larger blocks for the rear end to make up the height difference.
