Default Ratech 308TK - Any other parts I should need?

I'm going to take the rear end apart to replace the pinion bearing etc with my Ratech 308TK kit.
I know I need 2 quarts of 75w-90, and the GM additive. I've also read to get a new pinion nut and crush sleeve. Some also recommend a GM pinion seal..

I just want to have it all squared away before I start so I don't have to go back and do it again. Thanks!

I went with their master rebuild kit but the solid spacer
& shims. My mechanic buddy was able to stack shims
to same height as the crushed collar that came out,
and get it right in one try.
