whats up guys?

my girlfriend is considering a sportage, so i was browsing your forums. ive been a yota guy for a while now, ive got an 86 4runner.

anyway, someone above talked about a toy 8" center section being 27 spline. this is incorrect. the 8" is 30 spline, the 7.5" IFS and 2wd axle is 27 spline. dana 35's used in jeeps are also 27 spline.

sammy rear ends are 26 spline as stated before, however i dont recall seing the s-10 rear end mentioned. all non-4.3L v6 s10's and s10 blazers had a 26 spline rear end with a 7.25" ring gear. i know lockrights are available for these axles, and maybe detroits.

do kia's have dropout 3rd members like toys or are they like dana axles? if they have dropouts, it may be worth investigating swapping the center section and axle shafts, however once you get that far in, you might as well swap the whole thing.
