What size front axle Should i use for 4x4 swap

well just wondering what axle would bolt directly or almost directly into my truck as im swapping it over to 4wd. just gotta make sure i can re-gear and lock the axle as well. would any 1996-2004 front axle work for this?

also anyone who can point me in the direction of some manual locking hubs for the front end would be a huge help.

thanks
Sarge

 

Not sure if I can answer your question, but here is the SAS section of TW:

This guy is selling Dana's and some of the other comments are helpful...

Does this help?

 

thanks but let me clarify im sticking with the toyota factory ifs in the front. im just not sure what axle i would need and what tacos had them so i can find one.

 

Yeah, I guess that wasn't that clear - thought you wanted an SAS - I sure do, but it's expensive - check out this thread - prerunner to 4x4 swap - might help out:
