Hey ima do an axle swap but idk what's best I have a 93 with a v6 + lift keys torqued all the way up and add a leafs looks great just wanna do more!

 

were you looking at getting just a rear axle, a new IFS front axle, or a solid front axle?

What is the biggest size tire that you plan to run on the truck?

How good are your welding skills?

 

What he said ^^

 

I was told an axle swap would help my truck off road and I have no welding experience I really know nothing about axles I mostly just know about the basic motor so yeah

 

And if I can fit em 33's

 

Unless you have a specific reason for wanting to swap axles (usually because you need something stronger), it's a waste of time and money. If the one you have is working well for you, keep using it. If you break it in the future, or start doing some serious off-roading, then you can think about upgrading.

As far as the actual job of swapping axles is concerned, the rear axle can be pretty simple (depending on what you're putting in) and only take you an afternoon. Swapping in a solid front axle is a completely different story. There are a few threads on here that will give you an idea what's involved. Try searching "SAS".

 

your front axle will break way before the rear does. 33's shouldnt be a problem for either axle. If your truck doesn't have a limited slip rear axle, putting one in would help off road, but with 4wd you can still do pretty good without one. Deep mud or rock crawling would be the main reasons to get a limited slip or a locker.

If the truck feels like it lost too much power with the new tires, you might want to get 4.10 gears in both axles to get the power back. You will lose some gas mileage with the new gears, but 33's might be a little too much for the v6 depending on what gears came in your truck stock.

 

I broke both front n rear in my truck w 33s first was the spider gears in the rear end w 3:55 gears n found a set of 3:90s n broke the front.. But then again I really pound my trucks...
