I've been researching solid front axle swaps and thought I'd ask this forum what people's opinions are on the best axles and parts to use. Who sells the best complete kit? Does anyoen thing it's better to get separate parts and build up that way?

I have a 1989 regular cab truck with the 3.0 and 5 speed.

Thanks!

 

84-85 SA if you can find one and want to use toyota...

 

Get a kit. Cost is the same either way, and you have less hassle.

Check out Wabbit here on the forum. He sells good kits.

 

wagoneer dana 44 or just a yota axle will do it, gusset the axle before you put it in

 

X2

for the DANA 44

 

could go with a high pinion Land cruiser front maybe a air locker or elocker that would be sick, wide and strong plus then your staying toyota. and the t100 rear end is pretty nice in back.

I wouldnt go 44 cause the toy axle can be just as strong if not stonger. An 85 sa with longs would dominate the 44. want real beefy go with a dana60 or ford 9inch with that you could go with a ford 9inch high pinion rear and be set

 

best?

D60's or mogs, air lockers, 3 link w/ coilovers



most cost effective?

79-95 yota front axle, allpro/marlin/trail-gear kit, and a lunchbox locker or detroit.

 

depends on what size tire your gonna be running and where it'll be running really.

 

x2 on the Ford 9" or Dana 60, as when you build those up, you'll probably never bust 'em! but yeah, if you had the $ to do it, those unimogs would be AWESOME!!!

 

diamond axle that would be the best but expect to drop a ton of money for that

 

I have a93 t100 and looking to do a sas so far i've heard the best option is a chevy dana 44 front axle which is the right width for the spring perches but not sure about the actual axle width. Any ideas out there any info would be very appreciated.
