Short answer is you need an axle and the parts to hang it. There really isnt a "kit" for a t100. Youll need a wider axle than a mini truck axle. FJ 80 maybe? Or a pass drop Dana 44 or 60? Whats the WMS on a t100? Maybe some one whose done one will chime in.

Sky t100 hanger and shackles.. http://www.polyperformance.com/shop/...n-p-31337.html


From the link above.

Expect to spend 2-3k on getting the axle under there buying pre fab pats. Can do it for quite a bit cheaper making your own.

Heres some more info. https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f152...00-sas-202607/ Check out post 17

WMS on a t100 rear is 67". I don't recall waggy axles being anywhere near that and FJ80' s are around 63.5
I'd say get a built diamond axle instead of trying for a junkyard Dana match

No that kit is just the front hangers and shackle. Youll still need... axle, steering, springs, breaks.. blah blah blah

Economically you could use an 80 series with all of the 80 series suspension parts (front arms, spring buckets, shocks etc) the rear axle on the T100 is 66.75 and the 80 series front is 63'5, use spacers in front to get you in the ballpark (your front IFS is 65 inches so a 3/4 inch spacer up front will put you back to stock width) all of the aftermarket support for the 80 series gives you choices in spring rates, height, shocks etc.

I am swapping in a complete FJ80 front suspension under my T100 when I can find the time.
