I found this at Summitracing.com:

This is the description:
(Pinion Bearing Spacer, Steel, Shim, Ford, 7.5 in./9 in., Kit )
Install that new ring and pinion the easy way.
These Ratech pinion bearing spacer and shim kits are great for installing your ring and pinion gear sets. They have a solid spacer that can be reused if you need to take apart and reassemble the carrier. -- $16.99
I just wanted to confirm that this is the shim kit that i will need to install some 3.73 gears on my car next weekend. The website says that it will work for my 8.8 rear, but all i am buying off someone is the 3.73 Ring & pinion. Nothing else.
So aside form gear oil (I will be putting in Royal Purple 75w-140), is there anything else this kit does not include that i will need to install these gears with?
Any rear-end techs here help me out. I have not taken my manual transmission/differentials class at tech school yet. And im going to be installing these before the class with another mechanic from my shop. So i wanted to get some help since i've never done this before.
Thanks guys
