the gasket maker is about 5 bucks .. it's just high temp rtv.
I don't think Ford makes a gasket anymore. I think the rear ends are all put together with "make a gasket" now a days.
the bearing kit is optional but your bearing have wear on them and may go bad sooner than you with them too.
why pay to have your rear end opened twice when you can put all new parts in the first time ??
The bearing kit is the shim/installation kit plus the bearings...the bearing kit includes everything you need for the install besides the oil of course.
