Yes on saving the side adjusters and caps. Save the pinion shims too.

Are you planning on checking pinion depth/backlash/gear mesh pattern with the new Sure Grip? (you should be) Are you replacing the pinion and carrier bearings? (you should be) What tools do you have to do all this stuff? Lot's of specialty tools needed to rebuild a diff. Holding fixture, pinion depth checking tool, spanner wrench for the side adjusters, bearing race drivers, 250+lb ft. torque wrench and cheater pipe for the pinion nut, yoke holder, dial indicator with stand for back lash, gear mesh checking compound, shop press with bearing splitters...if you know what you're doing you can get by without some stuff but that's not ideal.

I suppose if you are merely replacing the differential itself, you could potentially just install it without doing all that other stuff but that's not the right way to do it. That's why I asked what you're doing because once you're at the point of taking the ring gear off you're really not just slapping it all back together. Remember to Loctite the left-hand ring gear bolts.
1) Why loctite the left hand ring gear bolts,
Do you run in reverse a lot?
2) And yes there are some special tools required, but if the existing ring and pinion are going back in, the existing shims will be fine, assuming it was set up correctly, so the pinion depth tool would not be needed. And yes, the backlash should have been checked along with a gear mesh imprint prior to disassembly.
3) If the bearing and races look fine, the lube that came out looked fine, no unusual noises.
Why change them out.
I agree that a person with no differential build experience can get in over their head pretty quickly, but putting on additional requirements for no good reason does not help anyone.
