Solid Front axle swap

[laroc]

It's time to get rid of the old IFS and put in a solid front axle. I'm looking for tips on the best type of axle and modifications to it. I want to do it right the first time. Also I'm planning on having a shop do the swap. Any suggestion and about how much it's going to set me back? Thanks for your help. Hope to see you on the trail soon.

3 grand seems about right....they gotta supply springs,complete axle, and steering stuff. ......maybe 4 grand.

Also, you didn't say what tire size and lift you were lookin for....what gears were you thinkin of? 488 or 529 or 571.......

I'm running 4.56 and i like them. It's my daily driver. It also has a 4 inch lift. Maybe a 2inch body lift later if needed. I'll be putting new transfer gears in also to get my low low 4wheel drive. what places can do the swap?

what vehicle u doing this to, 4runner or ifs? what lift do u want? are u going to keep the rear the same and then just make the front match the rear? how big do u ultimatly want to go? what kind of driving do u want to do with this vehicle? is this ur daily driver or are u towing?

????


if u need help just ask if u gonna do it urself.

if u gonna pay someoen to do it id suggest rocklogic.



personaly i think the experience u get from doing it urself is a lot better than paying someone. more appreciative of it

I totally agree... there is nothing like doing it yourself... :Thumbsup:

Yes we just dropped the price to $1,375!



I would reconsider the tru-track, I'd go with the full Detroit. The limited slip will open up and spin a tire and soon as a tire comes off the ground.
