where can i find an lsd that will fit in my 93 ka 5-speed 2wd hardbody, im sick of all the one wheel peels and it really ruins the handling of the truck. So, what other trucks came with lsd's that would swap in?

First you have to know which axle your truck has, it should be on the printed on the door-jamb sticker. Cross-check this with the sticky thread at the top of this forum.

Its an HF35 rear with h190 axles, all that thread tells me is that it has a 190mm ring gear. So does that mean theres no way to swap in an lsd?

All of the axles should fit if I'm not mistaken.
All you have to make sure of is the length of the axle tubes, if they will mount to your leaf springs correctly, and whether your driveshaft will bolt up, and is the right length. Not that many requirements honestly.

I think the 4wd axle is wider than the 2wd axle, so beware of that.

after looking at the hardbody picture thread, its hard to tell but did the 4x4 trucks have wider fenders both front and rear?

I believe some of the 4x4s had fender flares stock.

I'm about 80% sure that all hardbody axles are 59" wide. Though some have different gearing and axle combinations.

4x4 HBs hard wider front fenders, but all beds have the same width flare on them, and all axles should be the same width also.

To swap in a 4x4 housing you'll at least need to cut and reweld perches because 4x4s are spring over axle. 4x4 axles will also have considerably lower gears which may not be a good match if you're running stockish height tires. 4x4 axles will be a C200 from a 4 banger truck 86.5-95 or the larger H233B from a V6 truck or 96-97 4 banger. LSDs are fairly common in the H233B axle, especially pathfinders. Pathfinders have a 5 link rear suspeion, but the 3rd members can interchange.

You'll learn a lot reading the axle sticky at the top of this forum.
