Default Getting ready for my SYE install

I ordered my SYE today. Driveshaft from Tom Woods is waiting on taxes. My questions are;
1: Can I use RTV for the gasket when i put it all back together?
2: Should I just bite the bullet and replace the chain regardless?
3: Does anyone have any other tips and tricks?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

1) yes
2) i didnt replace mine, t-case had about 85k miles
3) i yanked the case out of the jeep and did the sye on a bench. i did that because it was my first time installing and wasnt sure how involved it would be. with that said, if you have any mechanical knowledge, you should be able to do it with it in the jeep. i think i spent more time yanking and putting the case back in then the actual SYE.
