9" spool install
i just purchased a spool for my 81 f-150 with a 9" rear. do the r&p gears need to be re-setup after the spool is installed or just bolt the ring gear on and go with it?

You do not need to set the pinion depth, you do need to set the backlash. All you need is a dial indicator, or can do it by feel. Just make is feel like it did in the first place. It is the easy part of a gear set-up. Do use a dial indicator if you have one. If not you can look at the tech articles, one of them says the correct backlash, you can use a set of feeler gauges instead of a dial indicator. (they cost about $2)
Oh and by the way, your going to love it.
