How to do an irs using eskies

ive got an 87 doored nissan and im wanting to use an irs using my chrome eskies for wheels and im jus wondering how do i go about doing so and wat rear i should use for the application thanks

Use Nissan 4WD front spindles, and build arms to adapt it to the axle you are using.. Then get custom axle shafts made.

thanks man i hope i can get the front to camber like the rear i think it would be a little different then other shit already out there

Now depends on your budget . Seths way would cost alot of coin and time . Now I have not done this but some others have since your Eskies are aluminum and the mounting holes are hidden behind the cover . Have a Machine shop tig weld the 6 holes shut so its a blank and redrill to match your new rearend . Which most likely will be 5 Lug .

or you can run quality adapters.

does anyone have any pics of this done ive never done a irs swap so i need some help thanks

a friend of mine had some escalade wheels redrilled to fit his s10 and he didnt weld ne holes up and my brother even had some 5lug 22's redrilled to fit his 6lug chevy without welding holes up and it only cost them like 150$

If you can do the work yourself, the way that Seth is talking about is quite affordable. Custom axles aren't more than $300 and you can find everything else in a junk yard.

You have done alot of them so I take your word for it . I just figure custom axles price of actual IRS with Diff would cost more then say a 200 Rx-7 Rearend and Plugging and redrilling 2 Wheels

That's assuming that you are happy with any of the available IRS rear sub frames out there and that they are the proper width.

I do understand where you are coming from though...
