Adding LSD and Axles....

Have a new LSD and upgraded axles to install to my non G85 balt. What else should I install or replace while that is being installed?

I got qouted over 600 bucks for the lsd install, and thats with trans out of the car. w/ the cost of the lsd plus labor to install, you might be better off just buying a lsd trans from GM. I think the cost of a new lsd trans is down to around 2,400 bucks.

I already have the LSD and the Axles. Are there any bearings that need to be replaced?

If the carrier bearings are damaged when they are removed from the stock diff, then they will need to be replaced. Its a normal differential install for anyone who is used to splitting and removing shafts from transaxles.
