Get a cheap bearing set for it as well; just as a safeguard. Otherwise nothing more is needed. If you find it hard to get into a slide, remove the rear diff and pack it out with some blue tack. Start with a little; then build it up, you don't wanna go straight in and lock it up completely like a lot of people will tell you to do.
