Post subject:  WT vs NT
OK so im looking at a leafy tomorrow and I wanna do a bit of reasearch before i do.
Whats the differences between a WT and a NT ie. Appearence, aftermarket parts and performance.


After owning a coily i wanna make sure i get one to suit what i wanna do, not to say im bagging coilys, just doesnt suit my needs.

Thanks, Brent

WT's have the wider steel flares, updated grille, different dash ( IMO the NT dash looks better) and different gear ratios.

I've said this before, but if you are looking to build a capable offroad vehicle buy a NT sierra and do WT diff swap ( gives better articulation due to inboarded springs )

All aftermarket parts ( upgrades ) fit NT and WT 1.3L sierras.

Sorry to be a pain, i just wanna pick ur brain a bit, whats so different about the nt to the wt after u change the diffs to make it more capable?

and what years do the nt and wt range through, coz im still a noob when it comes to leafys.

i could have worded that better...
why is a nt with wt diffs more capable then a wt?

The inboard spring spacing of the NT coupled with the wider WT diff creates more leverage and hence more flex than a WT or NT stock. Also has the advantage of more room before big tyres foul on the spring at full steering lock.

NT 1.3 1984ish to 1988 (generally 1987 build would be the latest you'd see.)

WT 1988.5-1996

Aftermarket HD CVs and Axles are only available off-the-shelf for WT. But otherwise agreed.

Aftermarket HD CV's are available off-the-shelf for NT. But otherwise agreed. (CrMo cv will go on a stock axle.)

Wouldnt the stock axle be 22 spline? Whereas the HD CV would be 26 spline?

They are 26 spline where they go into the diff but fairly sure still stock number in CV.

EDIT:
Just checked and they are 26 spline both ends. So CV won't go on a stock axle... :oops: :oops:
