thank you for your advice. the only reason why i consider dss axles is b/c i dont have stock ones. they are gone along with engine and trans. the parts guy at ford said each axle will run like 250. thats why i considered dss axles. anywhere cheap i can pickup stock axles????thank you again for the advice. good and taken! -James C. p.s. thanks for the luck. i cant wait til its done.
