Hey Brandon, I got my 4.56's in and went ahead and put a True-trac in the rear. I really like it. My only regret is not springing the extra money and putting a TT in the front as well.
P.S. you get a gold star and a cookie for tying up your calipers and not just letting them hang by the hoses.

Just an update. Haven't been on the forums in a while. Truck now has 250,000 miles on it and just over 30,000 since I rebuilt my axles a year ago. All is good on both axles except my rear axle on the driver side is leaking oil now...... must have cut it slightly when installing the axles or something. Wish it wasn't leaking of course but if that's the worst of my problems then not too bad. Truck toes well with any load I put behind it, does more than enough for me. And the original trans and engine is still going strong. Only thing I've done to it this past year is a tune up and oil changes.... well my muffler rusted out and fell off and so I put a new knock of flow master 40 like I had with the addition of a resonator to cut down on drone. Very nice sounding exhaust. it's been a busy time. Bought my first home and got out of my apartment, and also got married so I've been quite busy. Truck miles will go down since I now have a 2015 civic that's my wife's, but we drive it almost everywhere we ride together on weekends unless we need the truck. 40 mpg is much nicer... lol. But no fret the old ford isn't going anywhere, one day I will fix her up right. But for now she's just a working for me lol.

Oh and nice thing is I have a garage now. Granted I have to all but touch the front wall and take off the hitch for the door to shut but it does fit. The car, bike, and truck is a tight fit in my garage lol but it did save them all from quarter size hail a few weeks ago.... was happy about that haha
