Default Rear end question

I'm not pushing a ton of power but I'm trying to build up the suspension and rear end so I can drop a 351W in there and play with that. What I was planning was an Auburn locker b/c my awesome ford Trac-lok is only spinning one tire now, and some Moser 31-spline axles. Later I will put some drag radials on when i get money. Anything else I need? I already have 3.73 gears. I would appreciate any advice that you could give me. I'm a first timer. Thanks.

Do it right the first time.

Edit: Assuming you have an 8.8.


Are you looking at this?

Scratch the Royal Purple and that weight...

2.)What kind of oil should be used with an Auburn differential?
It is important when installing Auburn differentials that a high quality, non-synthetic 80w90 GL-5 oil, treated with GM or Ford limited-slip additive (also known as friction modifier) be used. Three ounces of additive will treat one quart of oil.

Ford friction modifier:

And get a set of these:
