I'd get the upgraded output shaft as well. The labor on the diff replacement is rated around 10 hours.
No need to do it twice.![Grin](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_grin.gif)

I think an upgraded shaft would be a bit redundant. The car will never see hard launches, DRs, or 1/4 mile runs.
