Default Front End Problems 96 tacoma

Well heres the story. Purchase a 96 tacoma in rough shape to fix up and wheel with. Started with a 3" body lift and 33 super swampers. Works great. Front end not holding up. Spent $500 \cnd on front end parts this summer and now i need anothe whell bearing and inner socket assemblies to bring the front end back up to snuff. Is it worth it or should I do a solid swap now???? Will the reg independant front end hold up to 33" tires or am I going to have to keep replacing front parts none stop.
thanks for any advice Yota_88

So why is this thing in "rough" shape? was it a work truck? And why is the front end beat up?...was it a plow truck or something? The 33's shoudn't be a problem unless you're running 10" rims with a small amount of backspacing, that sticks the tire out farther and puts much more strain on your wheel bearings, hubs, etc. 8" Rims with 3.5 to 4" of backspacing shouldn't bother it. These parts that need replacing.....were they installed new back in the summer? If so, there is something wrong, nothing should ever wear out that quickly. Do you go in the water with it much?
My old man has a '95.5 Taco 4x4 with 250K on it, and the front end has never had a wrench on it yet. What kind of wheeling do you do?
P.S. What part of NB are ya in?
