The live axle trucks were designed to be 4 wheeled 80% of the time.
IFS trucks were designed for a 20% duty time.
The IFS truck will ride better however, due to a lighter front end and the resulting wheel travel, by design the drive axles are subjected to greater angles resulting in more breakage in severe situations.
To run bigger tires off road, you need a lift. Check my used parts page for IFS lifts.
If the 88 has a 22R, you will notice a loss if power with bigger skins.
Hope the 88 is EFI, it would have better power and a stronger transmission.
