toyota ifs cv joint questions

Is there any Toyota gurus out there that has the sizes of the IFS cv joints? What different sizes and styles were used?
I am looking for this info because of a long travel trooper suspension I'm working on. I think its cool that the tundra cv axle parts work on the Tacoma.
I have installed the late model trooper arms and that is about as far as I can go with Isuzu parts. I built some 3inch over a-arms a while ago, but never followed through with the install. I have looked into having new shafts built by moser, and that is a possibility. I know that Toyota and Isuzu used many of the same suppliers for parts and I am curious as to how close Isuzu and Toyota cv joints are in size, and how similar the axle shafts and splines are. It would be very cool if I could figure out some way to make hybrid axle shafts with factory parts.
Thanks for any help.

The Isuzu uses a cup that the CV shaft rides in, the Toyota I believe replaces down to the splines

(notice the shafts are designed to ride in a cup instead of fit into splines like the Toyota). I guess the question is if you opened up the upper boot on a Toyota part does it come apart and have either 3 or 6 balls to fit into the Isuzu cup. There are other differences like spline count on the outer but switching to Toyota hubs would take care of that difference.

Sorry, I don't know much about the Toyota CV's, I replaced one of the CV's on my Trooper last week if you need an old broken Isuzu one to compare.

let me get this strait? you put late model trooper a arms on an ifs toyota? how does this work?

t100 cv's are 2" wider on each side than the standard p/u or 4 runner cv's if that helps

The build is an Isuzu trooper. I am wondering if there may be an outside chance that the Toyota cv joint may be comparable sizewize. This would allow me easier access to longer axle shafts since there are a few companies selling long travel kits for Toyota's. Isuzu uses a birfield outer joint with a dual offset joint on the inside. Toyota has used a tripod joint on the inside, but the Isuzu joint has a 6 ball cv joint at both ends.
I know its a long shot, but you never know. I don't have easy access to a Toyota cv right now, and am hoping one of the members here might be using one as a paper weight or something.

If you could just give me a spline count and major/minor diameters of the shaft. That would give me an idea of if its even plausible.
