The truck is ready for a new front axle, these 4cyl CV's aren't gonna cut it anymore. After doing the 3.5 swap into my Gen 1 I have A LOT more weight in the front end, especially on a 4cyl front end set up. Smaller brakes, smaller axles, and the torsions bars don't even support the weight very well.
Well, this brings me to ask some questions. This 94 SR that I have, should I use the axles and front diff out of it in mine. Already have the Gen2 brakes all around, good to go there. The dude who did the 3.5 swap in the Oz forum, he swapped to the longer and newer (read less miles) torsion bars, sound like a good idea to do this? Toasty you were on this thread, what is your ideas? Or would it just be a lot easier to spend the $300 bucks for new Sway-a-way torsion bars for thw heavier engine set-up?
