Re gearing with E locker?

Hey guys! Long time Chevy guy here. Just jumped into the Ford Family with my first F250. It's a 2011 6.2. Has 3:73 gears with the E locker in the rear. I am doing research on a lift kit now. Will be doing 6" lift with 37's. Sounds like I'll have to regear. Anyone know if I could retain the factory locker when regearing? I'm thinking 4:56 gears if that matters. Any advice would be great! Just need to know what I'm getting into as the locker was a big selling point for me.

No carrier breaks on the sterling so you can keep the locker no problem.

Yes you can keep the locker, for 37s I would recommend 4.88 or even 5.13 gears.

Thank you for you recommendation. I'll definitely check into it. Not needing another locker definitely helps the budget.
