That would really help to just run a single wider wheel, those old

the end of the axle. Theres still a lot of the old toyotas running
around with the old duals that have logged many a mile without any
problems, but the idea of never knowing when it might decide to go
its own way was the reason I bit the bullet and invested in the
bigger axle on mine. The single wheel might not have as much
stability as duals, but like my Chinook that has wide single rear
wheels the best investment I made was the addition of the rear
sway
bar. It made a world of difference in my opinion.

Could you give me some info on the wide 6 ply tire and rim. My
Sunrader has a real wide tires on rear and it drives fine, but they
are custom and I have had no luck finding 6 ply. They are just two
ply and I am not comfortable with them.

Benton,
IMHO, You are pressing your luck on those 2ply tires.
You may have to work backwards to find the right rim/tire
combination. See what 6 ply tire sizes are out there, then
choose the 15" rim. that fits your machine. A bone yard
might be a source for rims.
Check with the Toyota dealer on correct rim sizes.
Good tire data is in the Chiltons manual ($14 at Auto zone).
Nolan's idea on the sway bar also sounds like the way to go.
