I have an E150 4x4 with a 5.8L and an 8.8 rear axle and the tow capacity is pretty low. So I have a dana 60 sitting on the garage floor(it was for another project) and was thinking of throwing it under my E150.( Yes I was planning on changing the front axle ring and pinion to match rear). It will have 4.56 gears and 33" tires. The van tows pretty well now, but I am pushing my luck and figured the easiest thing to do was swap out axle. I know there are a few logistical things I will need to do also. My big concern's are frame strength(I am beefing up hitch) should I box the frame, transmission is 4AOD. I'm sure there are more but that's what pops up . This is not my first build.
So here is the magic number 10k lbs. What are everybody's thoughts?
Thanks
