Default Rear end

The rear end is out of my 86 and I am looking to just do a 5 lug conversion. I read over other posts and the links within the posts. I still have a few questions.

The rear end currently grinds and jumps on any turn that is made. I am looking at going with a new limited slip unit but have no idea on what to go with or which axles to go with.

From what I read, on the front I just need the whole setup from a 94 or 95. I also seen some people saying to just get the spindles and rotors from a 94/95 and try to find the calipers from a 99+ since they are 2 piston.

Thanks for any help.

and these axles:

Of course I am also going to be getting an installation kit and new bearings and seals, but those are pretty straight forward.
