The spacers are specific to the case; none of the dimensions change to the bearing races so just transfer the ring to the new center assembly, confirm the lash is within spec and check the gear mesh pattern and close it up. It doesnt care what rpm you launch at.

I'm not sure that is absolutely correct. Changing the ratio(from the mid 2.xx to 3.08 carrier to the 3.27-3.69) and therefore the carrier would very likely change what spacers needed to be used. I could be wrong but it's not a procedure I'm going to test out on a perfectly good diff, plus then if I do break it Ive got to build a new one every time instead of bolting in a $54 welded diff. The LSD isn't up to the task of being used in my drift car (where the welded 3.69 is going)at all anyway. I've got a 3.46 LSD I would use if it were the case. The ASD 2.82 is going in this wagon and there is no gen 1 case ASD to even screw around with.
