ive been trying to figure out what axle to run for my SAS and want some input from you guys to see what you think. i am going with a driver side drop for sure

tires size/engine/gears? its all going to make a difference in the decision. assuming a 2.7L, probably 37's, for a driver drop, i'd have to say a d44. they're a dime a dozen, and probably the next most common axle you'll find on the trail next to a toyota axle, which makes it easy to find parts for if you have to. just my

Diamond toyota or hp d44 up to 37"s. D60 or 60/9 for bigger than that.

yeah its a 2.7L and probably going to run 37s eventually. im going to collect all the parts and do it all at once since i cant afford to have my truck ripped apart for to long because i dont have an alternate vehicle. i was thinking 4.56 or 4.88 gears not sure which. the truck is going to see more road time than trail

superyota · « **Reply #9 on:** Apr 15, 2010, 03:44:10 PM »

as well keep your eye on craigslist

<MIKE> · « **Reply #12 on:** Apr 17, 2010, 07:21:36 AM »

i went with a Jeep Wagonneer D44. they are very cheap and super easy to build. i got the chromo shafts inside so it should be plenty strong. i got it off Craigslist.

98yota · « **Reply #13 on:** May 26, 2010, 10:48:38 AM »

how were you on width compared to the rear? did you have to run wheel spacers or anything?

<MIKE> · « **Reply #14 on:** May 26, 2010, 04:33:24 PM »

they are almost exactly the same size. but i did go with 1.5 wheel spacers to widen my stance and fit the 38s

hows the turning radius with the waggy axle? what spring width did you use?

<MIKE> · « **Reply #16 on:** May 27, 2010, 05:01:19 PM »

It's a little better than a yota axle because of the open knuckle. i use toyota rears up front so i think there 2.5"

88yota · « **Reply #17 on:** May 27, 2010, 07:15:02 PM »

Toyota 1984 or 1985 solid axle..IMO $Beer Chug\'n$

98yota · « **Reply #18 on:** May 27, 2010, 07:19:53 PM »

i just dont know if i should go with a ford or waggoneer axle. i know i will be running 37s, single case for now, 63 chevys in rear and some ruf's from a 91 toyota, 5.29s

from what i have read:
ford: you can get a HP
they are harder to find
the 3/4 ton fronts have 1/2" tubes

waggy:
easier to find
they are already close to the rear width

i ment the hanger. did you do the 31 1/2" full width or the 29" toy width

i have a HP D44.... its got cast radius tubes though. its jus sittin lol

98yota · « **Reply #22 on:** May 28, 2010, 10:47:13 AM »

for sale? if so how much any where are you located

<MIKE> · « **Reply #23 on:** May 28, 2010, 09:11:09 PM »

i used the front range offroad kit. i dont know what there hanger was. 31.5 sounds right though. you can use a toyota axle if you want i just didn't want to have to get a new tranny and transfer case to make it go to a yota axle. i run 38.5s with my waggoneer with chromoly shafts and haven't had a problem. its just what ever you find and feel like working on.

Broke_Okie_Ty · « **Reply #24 on:** May 28, 2010, 09:28:00 PM »

i ve just heard that the turning radius sucks with the waggy due to the springs being so close to the tires

<MIKE> · « **Reply #25 on:** May 28, 2010, 11:48:34 PM »

its gonna suck either way. dont let that base your decision.

Broke_Okie_Ty · « **Reply #26 on:** May 28, 2010, 11:57:18 PM »

i think if i get a full width ford hp tho, and chop down the long side only, i can run the 29" width and still be able to drive the thing on the road. it would require a custom long side shaft. but i think it would be better than the waggy.

<MIKE> · « **Reply #27 on:** May 29, 2010, 07:55:33 AM »

sounds good

98yota · « **Reply #28 on:** May 29, 2010, 10:48:36 AM »

what did you do to change the axle to six lug?

<MIKE> · « **Reply #29 on:** May 29, 2010, 01:37:44 PM »

i bought chevy flat top knuckles, spindles, caliper mount, and rotor/hub assembly. check out ebay or craigslist if yoiu know what your doing or call PartsMike.com he will hook you up with info.
