Assuming a SRW the rear should be a Sterling 10.25/visteon 10.25, they take the same gears in any case. I use Motive gears predominantly, their Performance line is typically the same gear as OE (both are made by AAM and sold to motive and Ford/Chevy.) When I had a shop, we used National Driveline when I needed several gearsets, onezis was who had the cheaper shipping since they weight ~21lbs per set.
on a srw I believe D60 was the common axle.

If you're running 35s or 315s, then get the 4.56 or lower gears. I put in 4.56 and almost wish I had gone 4.88.

Oh yes. You have the 3.73 carrier, so if you go with the 4.56 and don't want to replace the carrier you need the "thin" gear.

Did the later models get the 60? I thought for sure that I had a 60 upfront when I bought my parts.

You have the Ford Visteon/Sterling 10.5 rear and the Dana 50 front. Ford switched to the Dana 60 fronts during the 2002 production.

Saw these on another site-
