Quick question on tcase install

When installing my np208 should I use gasket sealer from the tube, or a hard gasket on the tcase/tranny mating surface?

rtv silicone would most likely work, but i prefer to use a actual gasket whenever one is avaible (along with something like permatex #2)

RTV works just as good and is more readily available. i use it for just about any mating surface and never had a problem other than not applying enough!

Maybe you all can help. I've got an '03 f-150 supercab fx4 w/ 33-12.50r17 Mickey Thompson baja claws. I want to go bigger but I can't find a complete suspension lift kit anywhere, everybody just offers leveling kits for the '03. I can however find kits for the '02 is there a difference? If so where can I find a complete kit at a reasonable price? Thanks.
