It will bolt up, but will you might want to convert the add one to non-add by switching the tube(not sure the correct term). Unless you want to put in all the add components

I have one ADD type but I changed the tube from a non ADD front diff.I did the change because of the 4:56 gears built in stock.

You can clamp the sleeve in the actuator and lock it into 4WD. You'll need to add manual hubs, otherwise you'll always be in 4WD. Make sure you plug up the vacuum lines that move the sleeve from 2WD to 4WD mode. I've helped someone do this before and it works well.

Last time I checked the front diff from a '93 runner was a 7.5" IFS unit...
There is no 3rd member on an IFS diff so to speak. I suppose you could swap the "chunks" out of it but a complete diff swap is the way to go if you're able.

I understand what you have and what you did, but how does that help to answer the question in the first post?
He wants to know if he can use the front diff from a '93 runner which is IFS. Telling him it will work because you swapped a 3rd into your solid axle doesn't do him any good...
