IFS rears in Solid front hilux, extended drive shafts ETC

Post by **HTH** » Sun Nov 08, 2009 4:18 pm

Im looking at putting IFS rear leafs in the rear of my solid front hilux and was wondering if i would need to get an extended tail shaft as it moves the rear diff backwards?

or is the current 1 long enough?

What other problems can arise doing this?

also can i RUF the front without changing my steering?

Thanks in advance, HTH

Thats just it, there's no quick or exact answers. What works for some, others don't like..

Do a LOT of reading and make your own conclusions.

If you'd read the first link to an IFS rears thread, you would have seen that IFS rears are longer in the first half of the leaf by 30mm. Which means, no a driveshaft extension is not necessary when using IFS rears, the extra will be taken up by the slip joint.

cheers mate, i did read it but i wasnt sure that when in articulation if the slip joint would be long enough.

thanks for the info, HTH

you could use a spacer if it's only an inch
