axels/diff case for hi power engine?

[Ivan141]

To be neat:
-Make a jig for the original axle so you can bolt it in (leave enough space for the bigger new one to go into the same jig later).

-Carefully cut the mounting brackets off of the original axle (or go creative with the ones on your replacement if it has similar sized brackets). Also cut off the brackets on the new axle and clean it up.

-Mod the brackets to fit the new axle, using the jig to make sure you get the bolt holes lined up perfectly.

That will sort most of the mounting issues.

-Next you will certainly need to redrill the hubs of most non-toyota axles to 4x114 bolt pattern. This is something I would let a machine shop do since it needs to be perfectly centered.

-Finally you will probably need to get your propshaft shortened and have a different flange welded on to fit the new rear axle. This will cost you about 100 euro's at a specialist shop (usually truck specialists).

Other possible issues: wheel fitment over new brakes and with a wider axle might restrict you in the size and offset department.

It's not rocket science, but it's a lot of work.
