You gotta ask more specific questions than that...

Toyota axles are pretty easy to make into rear steer axles since the axle seals are out at the knuckle ball, 3rd members are easy to flip around, etc

I wouldn't run one in anything bigger than a super light weight buggy.

Well it will be going under my truck and im gonna put it stock and try that, aint broke stock stuff yet! But im slicing it behind the cab after santa crawls. Just a cab shouldn't be a whole lot of weight :dunno:

but ill try it and see what happens. Worst that could happen is pull it out and put a rear back in and then ill be linked on fox air shocks instead of leafs.

Go for it! Should only take a few minutes to switch it over.

i say do it, i got a custom double rear tube frame that i cant use i will sale you for the back half.
all you need to do is cut the frame off and weld this double tube frame to it.

Re: Re: toyota rear steer

Building double tube frame rails is a Lot of work.
Lots of notching, fitting, and welding
