I am currently considering buying these axles in a attemp to swap out my TTB 1996 Ford Bronco:

Will these work for my application?

F250 4x4 Differentials Axles Dana 50/60 and Sterling Rear from a 2006 F250

Description:

High Pinion
Coil Springs
Sway bar
Shocks
Calipers
8 lug Rotors
Track bar
All steering linkage & steering damper
Trailing arms

Rear Sterling
Leaf Springs
Sway bar
Shocks
Calipers
8 Lug Rotors
Brake hose
1 E-Brake cable
Limited slip

Both differential gear ratio is 3:73 and the rear Sterling differential is a factory limited slip. The front Dana 50/60 differential has manual lock outs and electric shift on the fly lockouts. These differentials require at least a 17" wheel to clear the larger 2006 rotor and caliper.

Never considered 1999 axles on up, most of the stuff posted for research is for 1997 on back. I do belive the bolt patterns are metric on the newer axles but that is the extent of what I could find searching around the net. Does anyone have any expierance on swapping these in on a 1996 Bronco? Is it even possible? Does the rear have VSS and are thier ABS hub sensors in the front? Perhaps they are autohub sensors? Wonder how long they measure from wms to wms?

yeah, what he said. Sometimes when you copy ebay url's something wierd happens. Anyways the newer stuff will work, provided you have the skills to make em fit. The rear will have the ABS/VSS sensor, the front I dont know about ABS sensors. No idea on measurements.

I just got done doing a 3/4 ton upgrade on my 96 Bronco. I used a Sterling 10.25 in the rear from an 88 F-250. It has the VSS and pluged right in and works fine. It was also a complete bolt in aplication. I had to use a conversion joint for the 10.25 yolk (stock Bronco to 1350), and because I have a 6" lift, I didn't have to shorten the rear drive shaft (without a lift, you will need to shorten the drive shaft). For the front, I just swaped out the knucles (from an 88 Bronco), spindles, hubs, rotors, brake backing plates and calipers (all of which came from a 79 D44HD out of a 79 K20). I did use the outer axle shafts from the Chevy, but the Bronco ones are the same length (only difference is the machined grooves on the Bronco axle shaft for the auto hubs). I am unable to use the front ABS sensors, so I have the ABS light on all the time. I'm thinking of having the Chevy hubs machined to except a tone ring, but I have to find a tone ring that will work (the tone ring from the Bronco is way to small for the Cheny hubs), and if I change the dia. of the tone ring, I don't know if that will effect the ABS sensors hall efect values. Hope this helps.
