The only thing I know that must be adjusted is the front to rear
distance on the drive shaft. This is very eaaasy to do. Install
everything, and lossen the front mounting bolt for the front dif.
Drive the vehicle a block or two, parking it on a level lot.
Tight up the mounting bolts on the front dif......your done.
