Thank you @Matt05 this is great!All the needed fluids and shims showed up from Horizon/Tower so I got to work on the diffs. I’m definitely not an expert at building diffs, but I’ll show you what I used and where.
A pack of these little bad boys is basically enough to do two diffs.

The order of installation
View attachment 313895
Basically one of the bigger supplied shims behind the planetary, and then two behind the satellite gear on one side, and one on the other. I cannot take credit for this set up, I saw an old video from Rich Duperbash where he was setting his up this way so I figured I’d give it a go.
These little peanuts were used to shim the crown gear over once the diff was reinstalled into the bulkhead. The front diff required three, the rear I haven’t gotten to reinstall yet.

Upon disassemble I found one of the driveshaft pins on the driver’s side rear sheared off. Not really sure when this happened, no damage to the cup, but this rig probably only has 3- battery packs through it. Luckily I have spares.

Especially interesting to see that two of the planetary gears needed a second shim to be trued up.
