Question Front diff offset

Ok here goes I am ordering custom axles 65inch wide. I need some help figuring out sizes so thing line up when I order them. I am an 86 IFS 4runner and was wondering if anyone can tell me what the offset is of the front diff(how far off center to the passenger side). I search but so far nothing is coming up in yotatech.here I come. I thought I would post to see about a quick answer. I won't be buying them for a short while but I will be doing the math over the next couple of days to make everything line up.

Edit: Tryed to fix it so its easier read

Your post made no sense. A diff is a differential. An axle assembly is the complete axle.

Let me hold your hand.. read

Search next time, noob.

It still doesn't make sense.

Do you want to know how big a CV axles is? Since a CV mounts from diff to hub?

I don't see where the Landcruiser axle plays into this.

And you can find this info all with a simple search. I really hate to keep beating on people over and over and over again about searching, but you could even open your owners manual and find this crap.

I know how wide the axle is, but thanks. I was wondering how far off center my diff is.

I just wanted to know what the measurement is from center of diff to hub on the right and left(how long a straight axle tubes are), you know what the offset is or how far off center the diff is to the passenger side.

Maybe I worded it wrong and could have explained what I was doing a little better. The reason I mentioned what I would like to swap in there is in case someone has put them on before and may have a tip for me.


TIP: If you don't understand the question, ask questions of your own to try and figure it out or don't reply.

total side thing but if ur not on this site to help people out, NOOBS especially then why is this site here and why do u respond. I am still having problems working with the search part of the site. I also have 5 kids(2 three year olds, and 3 two years olds) I watch all day and when my wife gets off work I try to spend it with her before bed. So I don't have a chance to really do some hard core searches. I ask because I am hoping some people will be nice a point me in the right direction

I am going to do some searching on the web like I have been told and see if I can find the answer. If you have a minute and would do that I would be great full but don't put your self off

I haven't really posted this but the reason I don't have my truck is because it got vandalized. Windshield is busted out, drivers window is gone and tries where slashed. Someone tired to steal my radio realized it was a dud and beat my truck
