y? theres more wheels for 5 than 6 lug....but i would think swap the rear for a 3/4 ton rear and the same for the front....or get the rear from a 99-up 1/2 ton but as for the front i dunno for sure...

what it is, i have some brand new 24's that were on my titan and took them off and are in the way and cant sell them for what i owe so i was going to try and use them on the 94.

 Rear end swap, and on the front you need to get 88-98 light duty 3/4 ton rotors, they are 6 lug. This is how to do it....did it on my Tahoe.

do you have to change out the hole rearend or can you just change out the inner axle's

Whats a good reason to do this?

just the axles,  I have a set if you want them.  i'll sell them real cheap!   and the reason for the swap is the wheel choices,  like ten times as much!

Had to get the whole rear end so I ended up not doing it.

ive done this on probably 15 trucks all you gotta do is re drill the front rotors and rear rear axles and drums and machine shop will do it no problem shouldnt cost ya more than 300 for everything
