Default ox locker and gears d30 install ?

Just ordered a ox locker for my d30 and am getting ready for the locker and gear install.

Ive got 4.56 ring and pinion and standard master install kits for the front and rear axles but I'm wondering if I need special bearings or shims for the ox.
Cant find any info on their site or google. Quadratec said I don't but that doesnt really mean anything lol
Anyone done this install ?

Have you ever set gears up before? Do you have the tools that you need?

This isn't something that you just bolt in. You know that right?

I have this printed and bound in my shop for reference.

As much as I wish I could do it my self ( and prob could with some help)

I have a gear shop doing it but I wanted to be sure I have the right bearings and shims for the locker the first time

There is a video on YouTube that says you shouldn't have to set up the gears again but you might have to shim. Every gear set will be different.

It shouldn't need anything special. Anything that it uses different should be listed in the locker paperwork.

Pretty sure the stock stuff works just fine.
