I want to regear a 1997 F150 with the 4.6L and a manual trans to get more power. Which companies should I look at? Which axles do I have? Looks like an 8.8 rear but what about the front?

I am thinking 4.10s for more hauling power but other suggestions would be great.

Front is also an 8.8", but is hi-pinion (reverse-cut)

u most likely have a 8.8 rear end since u have the 4.6L but if ur lucky u might have the bigger 9.25 rear end

Pretty sure those didn't appear until '99 or so. Not many traction aids available for them, either.

the 9.25 came out in 97. u can find them under some trucks and expedition with 5.4 motors.
our 97 expedition with a 5.4L motor has a 9.25 rear end.
