4.56 to 5.13 gearing question

[connor grimes]

Is it possible to upgrade my 4.56 gears to 5.13 gears with only a ring and pinion for front and rear axle? Or will I need new carrier ?

New carriers will not be needed.

X2. Gear split is around 3.54/3.73 and numerically lower depending on whether dana 30 or 44

if i regeared only 25k miles ago is it worth getting the bearing and race rebuild kits with it as well ? or should i just go for the gears

Impossible to say without inspection.

If the gear dude has a clamshell puller he can very likely reuse them.
