Clutches
A rebuild kit that you will need
31 spline differential, you will not need the trac-loc rebuild if you buy a new differential.
31 spline axles

Your also going to have to get a Speedcal to correct your speedometer for your new gears.

You dont need the T-loc rebuild (clutches). You do need the rear end rebuild kit.

i would recommend a new diff cover... they are only 130, and the stock one is junk

but the stock one will work fine if he doesnt want a new one....not sure why you think its junk, but i dont feel like getting into an argument over it like we always do

my car is 11 yrs old and 160k miles, and the rear end has been blown up atleast once...my diff cover still holds fine, no leaking or anything
