Having been alot of talk about a gear change out. Here is one example of where to get your parts. I had ordered kit #555-60027K.

From the catalog,p.161-H;
high quality heat treated gear sets with a Richmond Gear complete installation kit, two quarts of Red Line 80W140 differential lube and a 4oz. bottle of Jeg's own limited slip additive. Each installation kit includes pinion and carrier bearings, pinion and carrier shims, pinion nut, crush sleeve, pinion seal, cover gasket, gasket sealer, ring gear bolts, thread locker sealant, marking compound and installation instructions. Forged and machined in the USA!

4.10-4.56 gears is the way to go! 4.30's were awesome in my 95...

I believe that to be for the solid axle iron pumpkin which is no biggie but you won't need the gasket and you will need axle bearings and seals as well as at least one half-shaft nut. Traction lock not included. ;)
