94-01 4wd is 1-11/16. most chain type parts stores don't carry it. you can get an expensive one at napa or a cheap one at harbor freight or tractor supply.
Do you have to take that nut off? Or can you just pull the hub and all and replace the u joint? I use to do this with my Jeeps and they have exactly same set up, just a little smaller.
Saves not having to buy that big socket

all i have to go on is a few videos ive seen on yt about pulling it off. getting ready to try it in a few hours once it warms up.
The hub bearing is eventually going to go bad more likely than not, so you might as well get the socket. Only problem is, that you'll need a torque wrench capable of 180 foot pounds to reinstall it. Which you'll need a torque wrench capable of at least 125 to reinstall the hub assembly bolts anyway.
Is there C clips in the diff on these axles? Sorry I know I am Hi Jacking, but this applies to his post and if he did not know about this, now he does. OR SHE...
I have a well equipped shop, but those that dont, and they just need to replace that U joint.
