Toyota 1 ton swap

[Hunter44]

In the process of doing a 1 ton swap under my 95 Toyota. Do I need to upgrade my steering box, or just purchase a Chevy pitman arm? Any info on what parts to buy would be greatly appreciated!

You could probably get a reamer and ream the toyota arm to a chevy TRE.

So need no in a bigger steering box?

 

[Loganwayne]

I mean they are designed for a stock size tire. Depends on how big of tires you plan on going to.

46-49" tire, I wouldn't know what type of steering box to get anyways, that's what I'm trying to figure out

 

[Loganwayne]

Don't quote me on this but If your putting in a bigger steering box you should also upgrade the power steering pump.

That's a possibility, any and all info I'm open to. I want it done right

Hydro assist.

Ford Bronco/F150 Forward swing box from a late 70's model, Hydro assist and a better flowing pump if you're going to run that size tire. Your toyota steering box and pump is going to hate life pushing that size tire around.

You can get arms for that style steering box from PartsMike in different drops.

I went straight to Full Hydro on my 1ton swap under my old toyota, but it seems the new hot ticket for SAS'd Toyotas is that Ford steering box. Most guys are running 37-40" tires with no hydro assist on fullwidth applications and say it handles it just fine. Much like assist on a stock tapped IFS box.
