The shaft is compatible regardless of whether the carrier is open, limited-slip, or locking, because it splines into the side gear of the carrier. Confirm your carrier spline count matches the 31-spline specification before installing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I confirm my F-150 uses the 8.8in axle?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Ford 8.8in rear axle was standard equipment on most rear-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive F-150 configurations from 1997 through 2004. Confirm axle identification by reading the tag on the driver-side axle tube near the differential cover, which lists the axle ratio and build date. A differential cover with 10 bolts in a roughly oval pattern is also an identifying feature of the Ford 8.8in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Instructions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSafely raise and support the vehicle at the rear axle using appropriate jack stands.
