I would love to have the full floater but if I am going to take and spend that much on a axle plus have to buy chromos I would just buy a rockwell rear and run two stubs in it or take a 9" and cut it down to narrow it up. I still have yet to figure out what toyota was thinking puting that c-cliped axle in I would noit mind having a 80 rear but then again here we go back to spending all that money and on top of that having to put my 4 link back on the new axle so I am going to just stick a set of polys in and call it a day. I wish bobby long made a set but I guess the polys will do.

I called and spoke to poly today and they were wishy washy about there own axles standing up to my 37's under strain and that made me leary of running them. He said that they most def would not withstand 42's at all. I am wondering if there is anybody else that makes any.

Yeah and that is what is looks like I am going to do I am not going to keep sinking money into a piece of a axle I will just try and find me a dana 60-2 and keep it at that
do they really break that easily?
yup.
my first one busted on the street and my second broke minutes after beating the hell out of her trying to climb a slick rocky ledge (which i made it over BTW)
take a 14 bolt, dana 60 or 70 and shorten one side. Not very hard to do, resplining one axle isnt too expensive. the 14 bolt detroit is the cheapest.

Before looking into resplining and cutting look for a dana 60 out of a late 60's early 70's j4000 they are a narrowed up pretty close so is a 14b out of a bread truck I think they both measure around 63ish
what brought up the narrowing?
im so lost...
