toyo rear ends?

damn! i haven't seen seth on here in forever!

new driveline pinion u joint & possibly different length driveline
your brakeline may or may not just fit right in... my toyota axle has the brake fitting(on the drum) on the other side of the truck. so the ujoint and new brakeline on the axle. thats about it for the rear...

okay that aint nuttin really. what about up front? how do the spindles swap over?

Ya on the back, I just got a Toyota driveshaft, measured my length, and took it to a driveline shop to have them swap the Toyota end onto the shaft. I think they actually put the Mazda end on the driven side of the Toyota shaft because it was longer. Didn't have to re-tube the shaft. I set it up with one of my link bar brake lines, so I just routed it where I wanted.

For the front, I don't agree with doing a Toyota spindle swap. I don't like swapping spindles because it can create bump steer. My method of choice is clipping the truck with a Toyota frame, or having the stock hubs redrilled. You can have your hubs redrilled for about the same cost as a drop spindle anyways. Then you don't have to source new hubs, rotors, and calipers, and adapt your steering to the new spindle.

okay well that makes sense. thats exactly why i made this post. so i dont waste money and loose driveability.

So the front, I just need to redrill my hubs then i am done with part.
The rear, I would need the toy axle along with it shaft, new u joints and brakeline. Probably will use the 89- 95 axle.

Now i have a ?.. Will my mono leafs fit on to the toy axle with no problems?
I havent lowered it but i was going to when i do this swap. Might as well get it all done at the same time.

You will need to cut off the stock spring pads and weld on new ones. They are not the same width as far as I know.
