I keep having problems with my axle seals leaking and I have replaced the seals countless times, installed one used shaft, new bearings, abs rings, and a new diff breathers. I heard that Toyota upgraded the axles to have larger collars, bearings, and seals due to having problems with them leaking alot. But of course Toyota parts are a arm and a leg to upgrade the axles.

Marlin Crawler sells chromo rear axle shafts that are said to fit a non ABS 4Runner/Tacoma. These shafts are super cheap being $145 for the pair. I talked to Marlin Crawler and they said they sell a "ABS delete" ring that makes the axles fit a ABS equipped ring, but then you lose your ABS capability. My question is, is it possible to press a OEM Toyota ABS ring onto the Marlin Crawler axles that way I can have that baller chromo shafts and keep my ABS? Best of both worlds. Or is there a large difference between ABS and nonABS axles that wouldn't make this possible?

Here is a link to the chromo axles:

If they would work with ABS don't you think they'd be advertised as such?

I would assume so, but when I talked to marlin the guy didn't know if there were differences between the abs vs non abs axle so I thought I'd ask.
