The 80 axle has no gusset for the long side and beleive they came 4:11 instead of 4:10. Not a big deal as you'll be regearing for 37's. You will want to invest in a set of longfields, the standard is the 30 spline. My buddy ran 27 old style longs on 37's with out issue, but he didn't wheel by throttle.

As for the Trailgear, some love them some hate them. Some have no problems some have lots of problems. My buddy complained that he felt the steal was softer than the allpro hanger he previuosly used. I've used several of their parts before and their customer service is really good.

Good luck.

let me know know if you want the TG kit... i can hook you up.

yotamonsta-

yea ive been reading that they have no gusset but can be added later on if desired other then that is that the only differnece in the older axles and newer???...and yes i have 4.88 gears right now but i think im going to go 5.29 i think....im trying to get as much knowledge of what to get not to get befor i embark on this journey...not that i dont think i can do it i just want it to turn out nice....thanks for the advice muddpigg

Tofer

yes you can add more guessets to the older alxes to make them just as strong.. 5.29s are GREAT gears for anything larger than 33s..

No problem, I did the same research before my SAS. I found pro's and con's to all the available kits.

Tofer will work a deal with you for TG.


Hey Chris how's life?

yotamonsta-

ok so if i can get this axel on the cheap i will get it and i will hit you up on that offer it going to be a few weeks due to bills haha but i got to have somewhere top sleep and work on my truck.....

yotamonsta-

Yea i know thats why i turn to the expert opinions of everyone on here.... but hey we all got to start somewhere and learn from there...what size kit did you put on the fourrunner and what size tires is it running....im worried that since my truck is already lifted that when i do a sas kit it wont sit level....it clears the 37. 1450 pretty good with no rubbing???

Ok so i would most likely need to do 5 inch....the rear on mine now has aftermeket spring(dont know how high) and four inch blocks..??? who make the kit on your website??

yotamonsta-

Alright everyone going to get my front axle tomarrow!!!
i just have one question the axle is out of an 82 model and it doesnt have the front hubs...will my hubs off my ifs fit this front axle or will i have to get the same ones???

Thanks in advance

Tofer

i know the IFS hubs can fit with modification, i'm not sure what you have to change tho..

yoder519

i dont think the hubs will work since its SA hubs. dont froge tyoull need to regear that front axle before you put it in 4wd

yotamonsta-

Well im getting both axle out of a 82 that are rebuilt with 5.29 and lockrite in both.
But the guy informed me that the front hub where missing so im trying to see if mine would work or about how much the would cost so i could knock down the price to get some to replace them??

If anyone has anything else feel free....Thanks

Ok ill check it out and see what i can find!!
