I'm lookin to swap my rear axle on my jeep on the cheap and found a 91 yota truck rear that is from a 4 cyl and already has 4.56's for $275. How does the and axle from a 4cyl compare to the 6 cyl, i know there is a difference in the number of spider gears;should i wait to find one from a 6 cyl? I read that all rear yota axles 30 spline is this true? Last question could this axle handle 37's with longfields?
Thanks for your input
the axle itself is as strong as a Dana44, you wont ever need to worry about breaking a rear shaft
Longfeilds go in the front axle
the only difference in the 4 cyl toy and 6cyl toy axle is the 3rd member,
ive seen stock yota rear axles stand up to 40's with 200:1 gearing and not brake after being beaten HARD
if i was you i'd find a wagonneer front so you'd have 6 lugs on both axles
i have a 2wd truck with 5 lug shafts in the rear i would have to make sure they were the same , i know this particular 2wd has a 8 inch 3rd which is rare, if the shafts are the same you could run the 91 toy axle with my 5 lug shafts and keep your jeep wheels
