Iv had bad luck with toy axles. 8" is small and sucks. The toyota front axle has so much crap to break and I have broken so much of it. If you go toy look at spending over 2500 per axle to get it strong enough to wheel with out breaking. Go strait to getting a d60 up front. Cheaper in the long run.


Please describe the "so much crap to break" that you have already busted? And where is the $2500 that will be spent? I call major BS. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />


high-pinion = 1750
longfields = 630
hysteer = 380
bearing and knucle rebuild kit = 120
arp hub studs = 69

actualy more then 2500. Yes it is possible to do cheaper, but i dont see the point when u can buy a hgh pinion d60 for a grand which is way stronger then a 8" anyhow.

as for rear axle
1700 on a floater kit
1150 on a diff
over 2500 right there.


I didnt break anything on the rear, but i chipped ring gear teeth that ZUK setup on the front, blew a 30 spline longfield and have totaly f-ed up my spindles. Blown hubs. They are just such a fn pita to deal with and way to much money for what you get.
