I'm trying to create a set of rear axle spacers that move the rear wheel bearings outwards from the axle tube to accept rear axle shafts from a 07+ 2WD Tundra with a 9.5in ring gear.
I've been playing with this idea for a couple months now following my Tundra swapped front end. After seeing the versions that @bjowett created in This Thread I figured that this idea was definitely possible.
Bottom line is that I don't like wheel spacers (I've been running 1.5in spacers since the swap), but i want equal track widths front and rear. At the same time this mod would be paired with a re-gear for the 295/70R18s, new brakes w/ SS lines, tundra swapped front brakes, and wheel bearings all around. Below I've attached some quick drawings I've made to demonstrate what these axle spacers would look like. All dimensions are in millimeters.
The only hiccup is that I don't want to tear down the rear axle quite yet ,as I'm still using the vehicle. Does anyone have experience with this sort of project? Does anyone know exactly what the length difference is between a Land Cruiser 200 rear axle shaft and a 2WD Tundra rear axle shaft is?
