Toyota Axle swap

I have decided I am not going to rebuild my dana 41 and 25, I have been looking for some axles to swap in my 2a but I'm having trouble finding passenger offset axles. I know alot of people swap in dana 44 and dana 30s but I haven't heard a lot about toyota swaps. I was thinking about putting in a front axle from a 85 4runner and a 87 fj60 rear they are passenger offset and seems to be a lot of parts available and the axles don't seem that much longer than the stock. I would also try to use 4runner leaf springs. The only issue I think I might have is getting driveshafts that will link to my dana18 I just rebuilt. Has anyone here done this kind of swap the driveshaft yokes seem different I just want to make sure I can make them bolt up before I buy them.

You could do it three ways.

Might not need to re-gear... the FJ62 has 4:10 gearing. There are also some factory FJ 60/62 FF rears around. I had one under my FJ60.

Here's a couple potential reasons: will the spring pads on the axle match the distance between the springs? How about the brake line hookups (metric vs. standard)?

You'll able to feel a difference in 5:38s and 4:10s with only 60horsepower to work with.

Like Bruce said, "maybe there's a reason"....... if you are repowering, well, that's a different story.
