5.71's? Not sure where to get them.. Yukon Gear?

You will need the Master install kit, 5.71 R&P, New Pinion bearing and seal, 3rd Member gasket/RTV, Gear oil.. And since you need to pull apart the front end to get the third member out you might aswell just replace the wheel bearings and wheel seals and check for play/leaks in the knuckles, possibly service the front brakes while your there. Id suspect all of these things need replacing running 39's, You will be glad you did it all though.

Probably under $500 if your doing the work yourself, I would recommend you get the R&P set up at a shop or get reading, who ever set up my old 4:10's is an idiot, glad I set up right, before the pinion and ring gear were binding so bad that I couldnt turn the pinion by hand.
