    2004 Ford F350 Power Stroke diesel torque specs. Thanks to Ford Trucks. com.

    These specs will probably be the same for all of the suspension components. I ran into these trying to figure out why two separate leveling kit manufacturers had a 350pf rating on a bolt/nut in their instructions...It seems to be a serious misprint, much like I thought....pinion and crank are going to have the highest and those are in the 225-250 range...

    Ford Axle Information and Links:

    From Great Lakes 4x4.com:

    Ford Axle ID and Info
    Ford 7.5"

    Donor Vehicles:AEROSTAR 90-95, BRONCO II 84-90, RANGER w/o 4.0L 83-96
    Application: Rear
    Type: Semi-floating
    Axle Shaft Diameter: 1.2 Inches
    Spline count: 28
    Ring Gear Diameter: 7.5 Inch
    Maximum tire size for stock axle: 33-inch
    Strong point: Approximately the same pinion diameter as a Dana 60, mass availability.
    Weak point: C-clips.
    more info

    Ford 8.8"

    Donor Vehicles:AEROSTAR 90-96, BRONCO 81-94, EXPLORER 90-96, RANGER W/4.0 90-92, E & F150-250 83-96, F100 81-90
    Application: Rear
    Type: Semi-floating
    Axle Shaft Diameter: 1.31 Inches
    Spline count: 28, 31
    Ring Gear Diameter: 8.8 Inch
    Factory ratios: 2.47:1 through 4.10:1
    Maximum tire size for stock axle: 37-inch
    Strong point: Approximately the same pinion diameter as a Dana 60, mass availability
    Weak point: C-clips
    Junkyard jewel: Look for fullsize Ford trucks made after late '86 with ABS because these axles had a larger 7/8-inch-diameter cross pin. Also look for late-model Explorers equipped with these axles because they have disc brakes and 31-spline axles.
    Building secrets: The stock diff cover is very thin, so replace it with a quality aftermarket cover. Also, apply silicone to the pinion splines because some builders have found that they're prone to leaking
    Aftermarket alternatives: Currie Industries, Custom Differentials, DTS Custom Service, Mountain Off Road Enterprises
    Notes: An Explorer 8.8-inch is a popular swap for TJ Wranglers because it's almost exactly the same width as the stock Wrangler axles and thus requires no width modifications. Further, Alan at Mountain Off Road Enterprises says that the Explorers used the same wheel bolt pattern as a TJ. Other vehicles that used the 8.8-inch axle included Ford ½-ton trucks from '80 to present, and Mustang GTs.
    Ranger VS Explorer: The Rangers use a 28-spline 8.8-Inch axle on 4.0 Liter engine applications and a 31-spline axle on FX4 applications. All Explorer's are equipped with a 31-spline 8.8-Inch axle

    Ford 9"

    Donor Vehicles:BRONCO 67-86, E&F 100&150, 57-86, E200 68-74
    Application: Rear
    Type: Semi-floating
    Axle Shaft Diameter: 1.19 and 1.33 Inches
    Spline count: 28 or 31
    Ring Gear Diameter: 9 Inch
    Factory ratios: 2.50:1 through 4.56:1
    Maximum tire size for stock axle: 37-inch
    Strong point: Removable third member allows for easy upgradeability, can upgrade to larger-diameter pinion
    Weak point: Difficult to remove third member if an axleshaft breaks, stock pinion-shaft diameter is smallish
    Junkyard jewel: They're hard to find, but some Ford ½-ton 4x4 pickups were equipped with an optional nodular-iron 9-inch, which was stronger and offered less chance of bearing-cap failure
    Building secrets: Replace the crush sleeve in the pinion bearing with solid spacers and shim kit. This eliminates the movement of the pinion shaft under hard load
    Aftermarket alternatives: Currie Enterprises, Custom Differentials, DTS Custom Service, National Drivetrain Inc., Randy's Ring & Pinion
    Notes: be careful when hunting for a 9-inch in junkyards because they are cosmetically similar to the weak (and expensive) Ford 8-inch axle. Also beware of the 9 3/8-inch axles in Lincoln cars because they also look similar but take a different axle length on one side due to their slightly offset housing.

    Ford 10.5"

    (image slightly distorted)
    Donor Vehicles:F250 & F350 83-97
    Application: Rear
    Type: Full-floater
    Axle Shaft Diameter: 1.5 Inches
    Spline count: 35
    Ring Gear Diameter: 10.5 Inch
    Factory ratios: 3.08:1 through 4.10:1
    Maximum tire size for stock axles: 44-inch
    Strong point: Large teeth on ring-and-pinion, mass availability
    Weak point: Ring-gear bolts tend to loosen
    Junkyard jewel: Use an axle out of a '99-or-newer Ford truck because they sported disc brakes
    Building secrets: The stock ring-gear bolts are notorious for loosening due to their design, which omits a shoulder on the bolts. Custom Differentials uses Dana 70 ring-gear bolts, which have shoulders and won't loosen
    Aftermarket alternatives: Custom Differentials
    Notes: This axle debuted in the early '80s in ¾- and 1-ton Ford pickups and vans, including dualies. Their popularity with builders took awhile to grow, due to the slow availability of aftermarket gears and parts. One of the reasons was that most Sterling axles manufactured after '87 used ABS senders in the differentials, which limited their upgradeability. One of the neat things about Sterling axles is the unique O-ring design on the axleshafts, which are less likely to leak when compared to standard gaskets

    Pitman arm information.

    Center to Center Arm Lengths

    If you are using stock Ford pitman arms (80-96), you will need a center to center of about 6.5" on your steering arm (high or tierod) or less to get full steering (on a Dana 60).

    If you are using a Chevy steering knuckle (with longer than Ford steering arm), you will need a pitman arm at least 7" to get full steering (use a 7 3/8" Superduty arm 99 and up YC35-3590-AA).
