Default what else do I need to buy with my 4l60e tail housing

I have no clue what else to buy. I cracked my tail shaft housing 2 weeks ago and it's time to fix her up. Checked the output shaft and it has little play and seems in good shape, turns fine and the driveshaft comes in and out (haha) with little resistance. So I think it's okay the just get the housing and what ever else is need and drive the car. Bearings? seals? Anyone know how to swap it if it's hard or not. any don't and do's will help.

Tail housing, bushing and seals. You need a bushing driver to get out the old one and put the new one in. It's better to use a press, far less of a chance of creating a burr on the bushing surface. The seal is not hard to put in, I'm sure you'll figure it out rather quickly. With the right tools it's a fairly easy setup, maybe 5 minutes at most. Transmission is in or out of the car?

If you have a steel driveshaft, the cracked tailhousing
may be telling you it wants aluminum (esp. if you have
higher ratio gears than stock).

Aluminum drive shaft, umi adjustable torque arm, relocator bracket, adjustable LCA's and panhard bar This **** better not happen again. I also might take the tranny out and go ahead and add a bigger converter and cooling kit. if something breaks just go bigger.
