Depends on the rear axle each has. If the 2000 has an 8.25 and the 1993 has a Dana 35 its a cheap strength upgrade. I would have any work your thinking about getting done to the axles done while its out as its cheaper that way.

X2 skip the front and only do the back if it's an 8.25. Even if your 93 is an 8.25 the new one is still an upgrade because it will go from 27 to 29 spline.
