4x4 should have an 8.8" axle, which is fine. You just need 4.56:1 gears for the front and rear. The labors to have them installed is spendy, seems like you'll be looking at the $1,000 ranger for gears and installation, without any extra limited slip or anything.

98-05 Rear axle will bolt on. You will not likely find one with 4.56 gears. You are better off finding the rear axle, then putting 4.56 gears in the front and rear. The gear ratio in front and back have to be the same.
