To install an F-series axle in your RSC van, it does have to be from and RSC equipped donor truck. RSC got phased in much slower in the trucks, and non-rsc trucks still have 1 sensor and one brake line.
Starting with 2008, all E-series got outboard rear wheel speed sensors and independent brake lines (for 4-channel ABS and brake assisted traction control), making it compatible with RSD. So you can stuff a 2008+ cutaway axle under your van. Only caveat is the single-rear-wheel E350 cutaway full float axle is wider than the van axle. I find that desirable but if also means adding bolt-pattern adapters would make it too wide.

That's what I like to hear! I'm sure there are plenty of Cutaway axles lying around here in San Diego, so to confirm if I read it correctly -
2008+ Full Float rear axles have the required wheel speed sensors and independent brake lines to make it RSC compatible.
I'm not worried about width, as I'll be running the stock 8 x 6.5 pattern even after moving to 4x4 by Agile.
Thanks!
