Blew out the rear end on my CJ-7 last weekend. Thinking about changing the gears to 4.56 with a 1 part axle and locks on rear with 4.56 and lockers on the front. Any suggestions?

Pulled this old jeep out of a crawfish pond. Had been sitting there for a couple of years. Been working on it since January. Change out most of the parts on her with factory parts. Has the orginal v6 in her. Put a Weber carbartor, new brakes and booster, changed all the fluid and cranked right up. Had alot of body work to do and paint her flat army green. 3" body lift with 34" super swapers. Other than that she is pertty much stock with 120k miles. And yes I refer to my jeep as her cause my girlfriend says I spend more time working on my jeep than her. "I've been Jeep Cheating!".
