Default Rebuilding Rear end, what do i need?

So i recently popped my rear end, and instead of fixing whatevers broken, i'v decided just go tear it all down, and rebuild the whole thing. So for a complete rebuild, what will i need?

1. Ratech Complete/Deluxe install kit from WS6 Store, its about $108. It comes with everything you need as far as shims, bearings, gaskets, and seals go.

2. Ratech solid pinion spacer, not a must but highly recommended.

3. 2-3 qts of gear lube.

4. New ring and pinion gear for the ratio you want. I would suggest AAM gears. 3.73s if auto and 4.10s if manual. You will need to reprogram your PCM if you change ratios from stock though.

5. Not needed but I would get either a TA or Mac girdle cover, they are cheap and anyhelp for the 7.5" is nice.

Providing your axles and posi unit are still good that should be it.

Weld the axle tubes to the housing as well in addition to the above listed.. or just save your money and get a rear end worth getting because the 10 bolt is worthless and it will probably break again.
