Yes theres both of the rears axle shafts.

So what did you find that made you not want to run the 80 series rear axle?

I do not have anything else.

Hi I have some parts for the rear axle on a FJ80, also some front suspension parts. I have a stripped full float rear axle housing $500, I also have some brand new 30 spline chromly axle shafts from nitro gear they are still in the box (no pic) $400. For the front suspension I have coil buckets...

Alright guys I really appreciate all the discussion and ideas everyone has shared with me. I am going to go with the centered diff just because I dont want to get the 80 axle under there and not like the vibration it gives off. So I have some parts I am going to post if anyone is interested...

Man what a horror story. So I just talked to high angle drive line, Jesse said he wouldnt run the truck with a factory 80 series axle on the street. The vibration will be too much. That was his opinion on it.

Good to know someone else has done this kind of swap before I could really find any write ups of running a center T case and the rear 80 series axle. That sucks about the nitro axles a couple people have said that now. Well I have them so gess Ill run them until they break. I tried high angle...

I am just trying to avoid putting a axle under there then taking it back out because of vibrations. Seems like people are saying it should be to bad though so I am leaning towards running the factory axle housing.

correction the diff center is actually just slightly more than 3.5 inches off of the axle housing center.

So I got out and measured this morning. It looks like the center of the diff is offset from the center of the housing about 7.5 inches. So do you guys think thats to much for the drive shaft to angle over?

I am running 37x13.5 and 5.29. I dont know how long the drive shaft will be yet.

I havent had a chance to get out to where the housing are to measure so I was hoping some might know. So you think if the diff center is 3.5 inches or less from the center of the housing Ill be fine running the centered T case and the factory 80 series housing?

So far the axle housing is still factory mounts. Would anyone be interested in a FJ80 series axle housing and brand new Nitro Gear and Axle 30 spline chromly shafts if I decide to go with a new housing? I just got a qoute from Front Range for the housing built with new spindles for 1750. Pretty...

does anyone know exactly how many inches the 80 series rear is off set?

Still I wouldnt be able to use anything I already have. I have everything to build the axle.
