Identify the rear axle actually installed on your truck, then select the matching axle, cab, and bed configuration. An axle identification guide is not a guarantee that every axle configuration is offered by this kit. If your axle is not listed in the available selections, contact Apoc before ordering. Do not select another axle as a substitute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIdentify Your F-350 Rear Axle\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e1.
