"I am not really going to beat it up like in mud or off roading its mainly just high way miles", If you live by this you should be fine, The thick cut gears is one way to go, there is a debate as to whether they are as strong as reg cut gears but like you said, you aren't going to bet on this truck so go with the thick cut gears. It's to bad you are that far away I have a new lsd that I will not be using sitting on my self for a dana 44.

Yes that's right.
here's the def for lsd:
LSD: The most well-known of which is the clutch-type LSD. With this differential, the side gears are coupled to the carrier via a multi-disc clutch which allows extra torque to be sent to the wheel with high resistance than available at the other driven road wheel when the limit of friction is reached at that other wheel. Below the limit of friction more torque goes to the slower (inside) wheel. If there is no load on one wheel then no torque goes to the other so the LSD provides no torque except for spring loading

94 and 95 are OBDI as well. Major differences there.

Definitely go with the 4.88
(nobody makes 4.88 for the front- 4.56 is the deepest)..
i thought you were suppose to run the same gears in both front and rear right?
if not can i run 4.88 in rear and 4.56 in front and what will that do if i put it in 4wd? or should i just go with 4.56 front and rear?
