Well, after pondering what to do I finally bit the bullet. Just ordered a 98 4Runner rear end-complete with factory diff lock, 4.10 (21,000 miles). It'll be going under my 85, yea, I know-width=60 inches. I figure drop in the Sky kit and that brings my front to 58".
I'll be running 35x15.5x15's with 3.75 backspacing (I think-whatever the backspacing is for a Land Cruiser 40 series).
This rig is not a daily driver, Usually only driven to the trail, so the mileage will be low.
Would I be putting major stress on the bearings if I then add 1" spacers per side?
Would they be toast by the time I get through my 2.5 trip there doing 60?
I figure I'll need new spring perches, I'd do the coil over but can't fab that good.
I went this route instead of having to modify a housing to accept the e-locker, plus I got the whole unit for $650 shipped from TX.
What snags will I run into?
