Gearing Down

In a 4 way points race for the stock class mudbogs.
I have 3.55 gears, 2 inch lift and 35 tires Buckshots.
Changing to 6 inch lift 37 boggers and hopefully 5.13 gears.
This should put me over the top but need help.
I need to know what parts i need to put 5.13's in a 1979 f250 4x4.
It has dana 44 hd high pinion in front and dana 60 rear.
I have a few weeks to get the parts and get em in the truck.
just want to hurry cause im done the lift in the front just waiting on drop pittman arm and am doing a Rear shackle flip.

hey i know this is off topic but are you gonna make the GP mudbogs this weekend at the airport? it'd be cool to see more nice dentsides out there, we'll be in a red 84 ford, in mod class.

For the rear you will need a different offset carrier, shimms, a pinion seal, bearings and races if you don't want to reuse them. For tools you need a torque wrench, bearing pullers, dial callipers, set up bearings for the carrier, some gear marking paste, a magnetic stand for the dial gauge you will need and plenty of time a patience. I don't know about the front 44, I only ever use 60's in the front.

Sorry but won't be making it to GP as it's a 8 hour drive. There is a CMRO event in plamondon that I will be at though.
