The billet side cover helps get a lot more oil into the diff clutches, helping them last longer. It is is a good mod regardless of car use, drag or road race.
The site glass cover makes it ridiculously easy to properly fill the rear diff. And it ensures you have the proper oil level. Not trying to over fill past the stock fill hole and trying to shove the plug in while fluid runs out. IIRC, this is only $100. And well worth it since you can also quickly check fluid condition through the site glass.

. I haven't had any problems filling fluid and I change it often, but I could see how it could be convenient. I'm already looking at $750, which is more than I had planned.. so even an extra $100 is a deal breaker for me. I'd rather have the diff done than not because I wanted extras.

Gotcha. The website says it's useful if you launch your car a lot but didn't mention oiling issues. Good to know . I haven't had any problems filling fluid and I change it often, but I could see how it could be convenient.

Is there anything I should swap out since all my drivetrain components are getting rebuilt? I am replacing TOB, clutch disc, the springs and felt washers on the clutch fork(not replacing fork, looks all good). Flywheel getting resurfaced, the pressure plate is good(confirmed by act through pictures). I can't imagine anything on the transfercase/rear diff needing anything done since they're getting a good refresher.
Anything I am missing I should do before everything is rebuilt and installed?
Also is it easier to reinstall the transfercase while the tranismission is out?
Thanks

You can't see first gear in that pic. That's likely where your issue is.
Nothing else I would think. Everything will new, so change all fluids at 500 mile mark, and at 1500 mile mark (1k miles after first change) and then resume normal maintenance schedule.

I went ahead and upgraded while my tranny was out. I had 430whp on E85 then. 6-9 months later, I have 480. And I have piece of mind since I've been hopping off the line. Not sure why but I suspect suspension or rear diff rubber mounts. Hopping was violent.
Since you are going all out, why not?

You'll wipe out the tcase gear before the output tube at that level.
