Default Whats all needed for a Healthy Gear Swap??/

im stuck between doing a new mid pipe or 3:73 gears i cant do no higher than that because i use this car as a daily driver on major highways, but some people told me i cant just get gears and 3 quarts of royal purple and swap in the gears! they have told me i need a bearing kit or something? my car has 61k miles! i want it to run great! anyone know what all includes a nice gear swap?

My car had 70k miles when I swapped to my 4.10's, I got the installation kit from summit (not sure if it's the one above or not). If you are already in there it never hurts to freshen things up.

the gears at the least will need new shims but your gonna want a full install kit.
