Post 3rd member install

Hello, I've got a 1995 F-150 5.0L with the 8.8 diff with 3.55 gears and 31'' tires.

I'm going to go to 4.10's with Limited Slip, and am thinking about just buying a 3rd member that is already set up how I want it. Is there any difficulty in installing? It seems to me to be pretty straight forward, but I'm wondering if there are any special tools required that I may not know about or any problems that others have hit?

Thanks.

An 8.8 doesn't have a "third member". You need to change out the ring and pinion. An 8.8 is a totally different design than a 9".
