spacers or sami axles?

Post by andyrew » Tue Jan 01, 2013 6:01 pm

so ive recently purchased some complete sami axles, i didnt need them but at the price i had to have them :lol: .

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 .

I vote Sammy axles. That's what I'd do.
