I’m wanting to swap a solid axle with 4.10 gears LSD innto my 1993 Toyota pickup. I’m just wondering which axle would be best to do this with and what year and model I can get it from, thank you.

If you search using the "Google" option for anything close to SAS or Solid axle swap, you will get a metric F-tonne of results. It has been covered many, many times. Good luck!

 

Also it’s is a rwd and I’m building the truck for drifting. I am swapping a K24A2 in the truck, so far I have pulled the motor, trans and driveshaft. My next step is to get the 4.10 gears in the rear. Once motor and the trans is in etc I’m going to run it stock to make sure everything works correctly before I boost it. Eventually I want to do steel tube framing in the rear so I can do a proper suspension. I’m just trying to figure out which axle would be best to swap in for now. Year and model to grab it from

 

you can use any rear axle from a 86-95. It'll be sprung over axle, though. You'll have to weld new perches and do all that jazz.

Personally, You need to start with an 8.8 axle from a ford explorer. This will yield disc brakes, 4.10s and limited slip. You're not gonna have as fun trying to drift a truck that's equipped with a pull handle drum E-brake.

 

what year is that Ford axle from and how would that fit?

 

1995-2001. You have to check the axle tag.

 

so you aren’t doing an SAS and converting to 4wd? You just wanna do a rear axle swap on a lowered 2WD ?
sorry 2 different things ...

time to start and hitting the boneyard with a tape measure to make sure the exploder has a similar WMS to WMS

 

Explorer rear axle should be 59 1/2" WMS. No idea what the WMS is on a 2wd axle but it worked great in a 67 mustang.

Another thing to mention, the explorer axle is an offset differently. You can pull one tube off and install another short side on it to center it but it's a bit more involved.
