Toyota wide rear axle questions

[PaulSac]

So I have been reading alot of people use a wide rear axle (from 4runner?) in their Toyotas? I parted a 83 pickup and plan on using the axles in my 86 4runner I picked up. I measured the axle widths and they seem the same. What is the measurements of the wide axle I should be looking for?

wms-wms should be three inches wider in any 86 and up truck/runner then your 1st gen

I guess someone swapped the rear in my 83 I scraped so now I have 2 wide axles to choose from for my 4runner. Just wanted to make sure. Thanks guys.

How much for the spare wide axle?

Right now the extra is still under my 4runner. I am going to drive it around with the stock suspension to break in the motor rebuild for about 500 miles and then do the swap. That way I can clean up and paint the other axles and weld the truss' on them. I'll post it on here and craigslist once I dont need it anymore maybe in a month or so.
