My '00 F250 has a 3:73 and a zf6 and single wheel, sterling 10.5 diff. The only difference between the 250 & the 350 SRW axle is a 3/4" axle spacer versius a 1/2" on the springs and a different rubber snubber per the parts list in my factory shop manuals as both models list the same axle part number. Excursions have a 4.10 and a 4.3 ditto for the 137" wheelbase pre'00 bump hood pickups

Local brick yard says they seem to work the same with a pallet of block in the back, the 250 sags a wee bit more at 1 ton probably why the spacer is different.

Drw rears are: full floating Dana 80 or 135 hints at 4.10 ratios, but aftermarket gear sets are common.

Could work but might be scary on I5, Ca 14 or US 395 most windy days but you could widen the trac by putting on the rims backwards with the offset facing outwards

I don't do the forums anymore since all the posts seem oriented towards smoke and hotrodding your 4wd mudder
