but i cant use the 4x4 until i get 4.56 gears for the front/ right??(front drive shaft is out of the truck at the time)

Do NOT drive the truck in 4wd with mismatched gears. you will blow up something in the drive line...transfer case, tranny etc...

So yes you need 4.56;s in the front if you have 4.56 in the rear before using your 4wd. keep the front drive shaft out till you do.

all Im going to say on gear brand choice is to stay away form genuine gear(4wheel parts in one place i know that sales them) and they are junk.
