    Be glad you don’t have the duelly. They had a big problem with axles breaking due to the stress put on the shafts by the second tire.
    I’m guessing you have the GO82 axle. Just a heads-up, you can no longer get these axle shafts if one breaks. Hankook makes a 185/75-14 tire that’s rated for 1850# each. Believe they carry a “D” rating and are 8 ply.

    Just look for a tire with a higher load rating.

    Your ID plate will tell you what type of axle you have. It will also give you the transmission type and factory paint color.
    Toyota only had two axles. The standard 7.5” and heavy duty 8”. The 8” came on the cab and chassis model and was sold to places like “U-HAUL”, motor home mfg’s and truck shops.
    If you see GO82 in large black print on your factory ID plate it’s the 8” differential.
