I would think you can use the same gear oil weight. I'm not sure on your 2nd question.

Sounds good... make sure you break in your gears properly. Also, see if they provide a warranty on install up to 30 days, just in case they screw up the shims. After a few weeks pop the covers off and check your fluid and ring gear for any uneven wear. Good luck, and nice truck

Just to add to the guys above me, change the gear oil after 500 and 1,000 miles. Clean all metal out! Get a magnet installed in there so it will get stuck to that and not all over the place.
