That should include a kiss. Unless you destroyed the carrier and axles that seem rather high.

Many of these trucks came with an optional locking rear end, but it was not "stock". I think you will appreciate the additional low end torque generated by a 3.42 gear. Your highway mileage will decrease about 1 mpg . If you do a lot of local driving it might improve so it's not a bad trade off.
