im about to put a 5 inch rough country lift on her as well ill be replacing all the ball joints and 2 u joints, ill probably replace the track bar. Anyone have any suggestions for regearing the axles? ill be putting 35's on after my current tires tread wears down.
4.10, to keep engine RPM close to stock, (I seem to recall) 4.56 if you want a bit more torque to get those monster meats rollin'. (and if you do primarily NON-highway driving, I recommend the 4.56)

Right, ya I do mostly town driving cause I live and work in the same town. Do you know how much the gears usually are? I've wracked up $3400 mechanic bill already for the lift, joints, spacers, and alignment. Do you recommend a steering stabilizer ?
if your location is CA, then give West Coast Differential (Rancho Cordova) a call for their gears. Decent price. Set prices can range based on brand...e.g., D44 $185 to $250 on Randy's Ring/Pinion site.
Then you got master install kit ~$150 per axle.
Then labor for install if you're not doing it.
I got a out the door quote from West Coast a year ago to regear to 4.10s, drop off and pick up at end of day, ~$1100.
You don't need a stabilizer if the steering system is up to snuff...alignment, TREs, ball joints, etc.
