Would do awesome off-road. Thats what I run spool in the rear, detroit up front, and 5.29's Its a caterpillar. But if your on road at all id get the detriot in the rear and get another detriot up front, or an ARB.

I would wait on the front. You got the opportunity to complete an axle, meaning the rear.
Anytime you can finish one axle during a build, and have it done right, id go for that.
You want this thing done right, id save for the front detriot and gears. For now you got a bad donkey rear.

Before you slap that third into your rear check the backlash, gear pattern and bearing preloads to make sure its not a backyard redneck install. Also look for markings on the Ring gear and figure out what brand it is.
There are quality gears and cheap crap gears (US Standard... Trail Gear are examples of lesser quality gear sets)
