You shouldnt need any special parts, but will need new bolts, gasket, shims, lock-tite, fluid, posi additive, bearings and races, and gear marking compound.

Unless your upgrading your axleshafts to a bigger spline, you shouldnt have to run any special bearing or clearance or anything of that nature. All lockers/posi's are machined to a spec for each particular car and manufactured to correspond with that cars setup. So you should be able to run normal carrier bearings etc.

The 8.5 Eatons need special bearings, the 7.5/7.6 do not. You should be fine.
