Default 20k on Jeep, going to regear. Full rebuild kit needed?

Just like the title states. I have 20k on my Jeep and getting ready to pull the trigger on regearing. Should I get the master overhaul kit that includes bearings or would I be ok with just an install kit?

Thanks

Do it once, Do it right. Always go with the master kit.

Sscarbrough52 is right, I ALWAYS recommend the master install kit. That way you don't end up tearing the whole thing back apart in 5K miles when you realize a seal went bad. When tearing anything like a rear-end, transfer case, transmission, etc.. apart, it's always a good idea to go ahead and do a master overhaul kit, just to be safe.

Shoot me a PM if you have any questions!
