yes its the right one

They only problem is that its a limited slip, not a locker.

 

i confused myself. what is the diff?

 

limited slip-when one tire slips the other tire will start to grip (one wheel wonder)<~ i think thats correct
locker- both tires spin at the same time

 

well i want a locker! lol anyone have a link to one for a 7.5?

 

Limited slip also handles way better on the street--behaves more like an open diff. That's probably why Ford and no other truck manufacturer offer a truck with a locker. But, of course, a locker usually has more dependable traction--though good LS like the detroit truetrac have virtually the same traction, handle better, and are made to fit your 7.5. It doesn't have clutches to wear out like a Ford LS either.

 

other truck compies have a optional locker.. nissan,toyota,jeep, and land rover offer that as a option

 

just did some searching and i have seen some people say if u offroad 10% of the time, then L/S is just as good.

 

if i were u i'd just swap out that 7.5 axle for a 8.8 with 4.10/LS... would prolly be cheaper

 

yea but the thing is i still have 4.5yrs left with the warrenty

 

if u swaped it out, i believe the only thing the warranty wouldnt cover... would be the "new" axle...and at that i highly doubt they'd even notice it, only if it had disc brakes, they'd prolly think sumthin was up

 

that is true. idk its on 32s so im not straining anything. im deff not gonna upgrade to bigger tires. so idk tough decision!
