You need reverse for your front axle since it's a High Pinion D30.

Don't forget if you are going to 4.56 gears from 3.55 or3.07 gears you will need a locker! (new carrier ) for the Dana 30

Good Call....
The Dana30 carrier will need to be replaced with the correct carrier or locker.

The 8.25 carrier will work for the 4.56....there's no carrier break.
