I am in the middle of swapping both axles between Raider and Montero at the moment. swapping rears is no problem, its removing the front thats a PITA. You gotta knock the front spindles off to pull the CV shafts out. I also think you gotta pull the shocks off. Lots of BS in the way to do it, but its about a million times faster and more reliable than pulling the front diff out and hoping your measurements are accurate.
