05 F150 4:56 Gears Help!

05 F 150 4.6L I am pretty sure I have 8.8 rear. I need to order front and rear gears. Any tips you guys can give me on how to order would be helpful. I dont know if I need reverse gears or what.

Thanks

The front gears will be reverse cut. Gears are no joke, make sure you have a knowledgeable friend or a good mechanic.

I done a gear swap myself, and i used Randys ring and Pinion. They seemed pretty Knowledgeable and got me the parts and things i needed. I actually bought a Differential rebuild book too and that helped me through it.
I done the gear swap in my carport, and had to spend money on tools to get the job done.
Must have done it right. After the gear change, i drove cross country pulling a 18' cargo trailer. The only problem i had was i had to replace a pinion seal. I forgot to use rtv when i installed it........Silly me..
