Topic: Solid axle for 95 toyota tacoma

[Doin work]

  I have a 95 Tacoma with the 3.4 in it sitting on 9 inches of lift running 37's, however the IFS is gone. and it seems cheeper to just SAS it. So I was wondering if anybody had any tips for the parts/labor needed. I know I'll need a new steering set up and I have to weld noew mounts for the leafs. Anything helps thanks

Cool that helped thanks. How important do you think it will be to fork out the extra cash for the hydro steering? I'm running 37's and using it for a DD

if you are going to do more DD that off road i would go no hydro. I DD my 4runner with out hydro for about 3yr with 37 and had on issue. I do have hydro now and yes it works sweet but you can tell its there. My sas'ed t100 (my DD) has on hydro and i dont wont is on there. go with out it at first and get a feel for the truck then down the road add hydro if you think you need it. Are you going to run a locker in the front? I put a lockright in the front of my runner and thats when and why i got hydro, in 4wd it felt like i did not have power steering.

Okay cool, at first I'm just going to leave the front drive shaft out until I get more money together and then I think I'm going to go with 4.56's front and rear and I'll put a locker in it at the same time.

i would think about 4.88 gears. that's what i have in my t100 and with 37 every thing is back to stock as far as the speedo and what not. i think with 37 and and 4.56 you will be sluggish. i have a s/c 3.4 and i think it would suck having 4.56 gears and my t100 weights about 4200lbs so as much as a acc cab taco.  something more to think about.

Yeah good call thanks for the heads up. I should be starting the swap the end of next week so I'll try to get some picks up.

what axle are you going to run?

[Doin work [OP]]

Sorry about the delayed reply but I have been shopping around. What would you recommend?

[854RUN]

A lot of guys go with a dana 44 or a diamond if you wont to keep it more Toyota. I am running a 44 under my t100 and it dose just fine. A 44 will be cheaper than a diamond witch start at 900.00

why not use coil overs?
