Axle Swap - 02 to OBS

[bbressler]

Wondering if I can swap rear axles from a superduty to an OBS truck...

I think the bolt pattern is different for the rims, but other than that, is there anything to watch out for? Just looking to get the gearing of the superduty instead of the 4.11's I've got now. Would it be easier/better to swap those out?

If your truck has the sterling 10.25 which it should you can actually swap the guts of a newer axle over to it. Or swap the entire sterling 10.5 in and swap your outer hubs on to the new axle so you retain your lug pattern and keep your same wheels.
