Been doing some digging around and I'm about ready to pull the trigger but just want to make sure I'm getting all the right parts.

4.08 Frontier gear swap

I found that thread with all the part numbers on it. If I'm reading it right, since my car is a 6mt and has the factory VLSD (99.9% sure it does) all I need is the gears and install kit. I don't need a stub shaft. Am I right? Anything else I should get other than the part numbers listed in that post?

LSD's. Here's where I start getting fuzzy and need some help. My car is not a track car and never will be. It's a weekend cruiser that I take out and have fun with on the back roads or take my girl out to dinner in. So would yall go quaife or wavetech? Or something else all together? Uprev mentioned to me that the wavetech was carried by nissan performance or something like that.

Baker tuning in Houston is going to be doing the install for all these parts. Talked to a whole bunch of shops between Austin and Houston and 3/4 of them wouldn't touch it and out of the 2 that would touch it I only felt comfortable with them while talking to them.

Thanks for the help yall.
