ok so...
youre gonna be running two (very) different width axles, with (probably) two different gear ratios, and two different bolt pattens.
good luck failing.

I understand that you got a free axle. But if you have to buy one to match the front why not get a Ford 8.8 that has disk brakes? YOu are still only buying one axle and some of the 8.8 come with the same gears that are in your rearend now. Much easier and more practicle.
