Toyota Front Drive Shaft for Solid Axle

The front shaft in Toyotas with solid axle swaps (SAS) or highly flexible leaf springs can get a bit complicated. These types of suspension setups in Toyotas create a couple of problems, problems with angles and with compression/extension. The compression/extension issue is why you’ll see guys running square tube drive shafts, because they otherwise pull apart and separate their stock slip yoke.  To build a shaft for SAS Toyotas and many Toyotas with OEM solid axles on a leaf spring front suspension we will need a lot of measurements. You can watch a short video showing how to measure these things here  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6PwSW4x9_E&t=1s A list of required measurements can be found below.  Frankly, there's a couple things you may not like about the type of shaft required for this application. Most of the time, depending on angles and compression/extension numbers, we need to build the shaft with two special features. One feature, which is usually required due to the
