Land Cruiser 3" Rear Axle Simple Swap Kit

Land Cruiser 3" Rear Axle Simple Swap Kit

Basic 3" axle swap kit for spring-over conversions using 2.75" leaf springs.

This is the essential starter kit for swapping in a 3" diameter rear axle or converting to a spring-over setup on your Toyota Land Cruiser. It includes everything you need to get the axle under the rig—no extras, no fluff. You’ll get 3/8" thick A50 steel u-bolt plates and spring perches, both sized for 2.75" wide leaf springs and machined with three center pin mounting options for fine-tuning axle placement.

The kit also includes four 5/8" x 3" x 10" u-bolts with hardware and a pair of weld-on shock brackets with 1.5" ID. Built to handle real trail use, this setup is tough, simple, and ready to weld in. Ideal for custom axle swaps, SOA setups, or just refreshing worn-out factory gear.
