so ive recently purchased some complete sami axles, i didnt need them but at the price i had to have them .
so my bundle of parts is slowly getting bigger for my pick up , when i eventually get my bum into gear and get it rebuilt. so i figured the sami axles would be a good mod to add to the list. im in two minds tho
SJ413 axles with 30mmm spacers , cons being more leverage on wheel bearings
or sami axles? cons being axles casing more prone to bending.
any issues to over come with the conversion? im assuming just a case of whipping the
spring mounts over on the axle casing and swaping the diffs over.
your opinions welcome ladies and gents .

Re: spacers or sami axles?
I fitted sammy axles to mine a couple of days ago. Wasn't to bad a job as it goes but I'm running spacers as well and I've got 8.5 offset wheels. Drives a lot better tho.
