I recently got front and rear 76 landcruiser FJ 70 axles to put in my 87 toyota pickup IFS with plans to put in a straight axle swap. The problem that I ran into was that the rear landcruiser axle has an offset. Will that be ok to put in my pickup or would the driveshaft angle be to much? Or can I just bolt a landcruiser transfer case in my pickup? If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.

I'd recommend just selling them, keeping your stock rear, and using the money to buy a 79-85 mini front end.
The LC axles are too narrow. Rear is 56" wide versus your 58". Front is 57" versus your 59".
Birfield joints are the same as mini truck. Ring gear are bigger, but not a big deal.
Drive shaft flanges are different.
LC case wont bolt up to your pickup.

Yeah, keep you same rear end and find a 84-85 mini truck axle.

I just want to tell you both good luck, and we're all counting on you.
