Would a solid front axle from a 85 toyota pickup fit a 88 4runner n if so wat all do I need besides the front axle

 

Front spring hanger, springs, shackles, bushings, high steer kit.
Welder....
Yes to the axle

 

You can buy kits through companies like TG. Heres how to do a "sas"

The kit comes with most of the parts, but youll need some small stuff.. like a drive shaft.

Larger tires (if you wheel it) lead to needing stronger hub/shafts/lower gears... etc

Expect to spend about $2000 on a sas.

 

buy a kit. like said above trial gear sells the most complete kit for the best price. some people bash them but ive done 3 swaps and used both trail gear and all pro stuff and beat the hell outta them both and they have held up to what i was doing. but to do a full truck your gonna be around 3 to 4 thousand dollars. front sas kit is usually 1200 bucks axle is around 300 bucks. rear springs hangers shackles shocks all that is probably another 6 to 800 bucks. g2 gears are i think 230 a set so theres 500 in gears front drive shaft kit from trail gear is i think 250 bucks and then if your gonna spend all that and while you have the front axle apart you might as well buy either longs or trail gear axle shafts those are 600 bucks and tcase gears 4.7 last time i got those they were 500 bucks so if your gonna do it right and to have a rig that can stand up to the pressure its gonna cost but you get what you pay for. my turbo rig cost me about 12k dollars but that was motor and everything but i love it and nothing beats the sounds of a turbo spooling up

 

The TG kit offers a 4-stud or 6-stud steering arm. What is the difference between the two?

 

One has four and one has six.........lolz.......

OEM has four studs, six studs (or "six shooters") support the steering arms more in the case of bigger tires.

 

Just to add a little to what BBP said. Larger tires and rockcrawling puts a huge strain on the studs in your steering arms. You should check the torque specs on them before wheeling, as they do loosen and could result in sheering off the studs. Alot of people modify their 4 stud hi-steer steering arms by welding a tab to them and drilled a hole through the tab and knuckle adding a bolt and nut through the steering arm tab and knuckle, basically making it a 5 stud arm. Then TG came out with the 6 shooters. If you buy the 6 shooter steering arm kit, you also need to buy TG's 6 shooter knuckles to get the full benifit of the setup. I believe the 6 shooter arms will work with the stock 4 stud knuckles, so if you are on a budget and buying hi-steer, you could always upgrade to the 6 shooter knuckles later.

 

Thank you that was a lot more informative. I can't weld not do I have a welder. What am I looking at for labor costs on a sas?
