Longtime lurker, first post. 05 Rocky Mtn Edition with 4.0 and 42rle 4spd auto. Daily driver, occasionally wheeled. Dana 44 rear and Dana 30 front, currently running 33s with the factory 3.73 gears (O/D off button has become a good friend of mine). I will be regearing to 4.88 here soon, but before I pull the trigger on this gear package from Revolution I wanted to confirm that this will be the right one.

^Is it correct that I need a thick gear for the rear 44 to reuse the carrier? If so, I believe that's the right package but correct me if I'm wrong.
Also, is it correct that 4.88s are the lowest ratio that will fit in a dana 30? I ask that because there is a possibility of 35s sometime down the road
One more question, while I have it apart I'm considering tossing in an aussie locker in the front Dana 30. Other than the clicking around sharp turns, is there any downside to a front lunchbox as far as street driving?
Thanks guys
