front and rear end question?

[yota2828]

what size, 3/4, 1/2, or 1 ton axles would be best for a 87 yota, planning a smallblock 350 engine and already have some 39.5 inch boggers, and also what size gears front and rear? This is the truck like it is now!

d60 front d70 rear. There use to be a guy on the board with that set up on a 82 toyota with a small block chevy. Work well for him IIRC. Other old timers on the board my be able to provide better info on Scott's truck

39.5 or 40" rubber 5.13 or 5.38 gears you should be in the power band of your engine

For road driving and probably mud bogging, 5.13 or 5.38's would be fine.

For rockcrawling you are DEFINETLY going to want dual cases or low gears in your case.

I have a D60/D70, I like them, the D70 rear is supposedly alot stronger than the D60 rears.

D44 front and a 9" is a good alternative, you'll have a hard time finding a front D60 for cheap

Or you could have me build you some hybrid 60/9" axles if you want to get real fancy!

i rather have a yota axle then a d44, d44 is a wast of time and money
