Replacing my 10.50 with a Dana 80 on my 08 F350

[xSmokyx]

I have a 2008 f350 CCLB, my axle is about to take a **** on me and ive always wanted to have a lifted dually so im looking for a dana 80 to replace the 10.50. My question is the f350 srw frame and leafs/blocks the same as the frames on the f350 drw? would it be a direct bolt on and fit?

it's in the exact same location width wise as far as spring location

IDK if the tube diameter is the same but I don't think it is and I don't know if the drive shaft flange is the same
plus you may want to address the front spacers ETC a few things to think about
the Sterling 10.5 is no slacker FYI

I have toyed with the idea also but tires/Rims are the deal breaker for Me

yeah i would put the dually front hubs on, and i do believe the tube is bigger on the dana 80. i knew the 10.50 was tough but i was just tossin things around, its gonna be a pretty penny to have the axle rebuild the way i want it so i was just brain stormin

the dana 80 is far superior to the sterling. ask Jared Rice

How is jared rice? and if i wanna doing this swap and get a dana 80 will it mount right up minus ubolt and top plates. and is the 6.0's dana 80 the same as the 6.4's
