Default rear end experts, please come in

So long story short i have a small leak of fluid in my rear that has been temporarily fixed. Right now i have FRPP 3.73 gears, master bearing/seal kit and gear lube in my room. Should i just go ahead and get those installed? Or should i keep saving up a bit and upgrade my axel to a 31 spline and upgrade the rear dif(no idea which one is best)? Also if i got the gears installed now in the winter it wouldnt have any problems with it wearing in correctly?

I was going to install all this stuff in spring time with the axel and dif, but id rather do it asap so i know my rear is not a ticking time bomb. Any input would be apreciated.

lol. To answer the original question, if you are sure your going with 31 spline axles and diff then just wait, it'll save you on labor costs to do it all at once.

so are you saying that his rearend is in his room, because according to his post that's where his gears are.... unless I'm missing something.
