SAS question

[seth476]

I am getting ready to do a SAS on my 90 4 runner 3.0l. I am wanting to use a Dana 44 from a waggy but need to know whether to get a passenger side drop or drivers side drop and what years of the waggys had each? Thanks

its passanger side drop.

im not sure on the waggys years of diff sides.


i know all chevy front d44 or 10 bolts would work for you application.

[keyice]

go with a chevy 44 they are all on the right side, but wouldn't a 60 or a built toy front be stronger.

[seth476]

Are the chevy 44s the correct width? I am being told that the waggy 44s are already the correct width. I dont want to have to cut them down. Yes, a 60 or built toy axle would be stronger but more expensive i believe unless I am wrong. Thanks for any info.

shit, a stock toy is just as strong as a stock 44, but the waggy 44 is going to be a little wide for a 90 runner rear end. A waggy 44 also has the diff on the wrong side for a 90 runner. the waggy 44 is the width of a taco rear end, thats why people use them on taco sas, im not sure what kind of 44 will work for your width, i recommend a toy front with crossover and longfields, unless you want to run 39s, then you should just go with 60s front and rear

k use your stock rear end and save the money... ITS WAY STRONGER THAN A D44

for your front i would just get a toy axle and some spacers... if this is a dd then you wasteing your time on trying to get a d44 the same width as a toy rear end.

either get a d44 and cut it down to size and then use a waggy axle shaft for the long side... is that what you meant ???


but a toy front spacers and chromos with 30 spline is almost as strong as a d60 but i doubt your running bigger than 35's but you could run 37's

d44 dont have as much clearance as a toy axle.

thanks for the help, looks like I will go w/ a toy axle after all. now that I think about, all the info I did get was from a buddy with a sasd taco. another question though. w/ the 3.0l (just rebuilt and bored 30 over), should I run 4.88s or 5.29s with 35s. Thanks, Seth

[KToy]

with an auto and 35's i would say as low as possible regardless... it seems on this board a lot of ppl recommend 4.88 but then they all wish they had done the 5.29's to make it a lot easier on there motor and tranny

[Kyron]

:wink: 5:29's and keep it all Toyota

[seth476]

I have a 5 spd, should of mentioned that earlier.

[KToy]

5.29 and dont look back.

[D-Krawler]

i got 5.29 and a auto and i love it. also ttr did you ever get your d60 swap done and is it ready for wheeling.

[KToy]

waiting on rocklogic to finish up with the locker and gear install... they are in the process of moving there company so i have to wait another week.

i plan on having it done by the end of sept though.
