No problem, don't worry about it, I don't have one either, just make sure you get the snap ring on the locker side. The snap ring on the last photo is an absolute must or you WILL lose your front locker function.

If Lenny sent nuts for the back side of the ring gear, I suggest you put them in the recycle bin. DON"T USE THEM!!! I just had to take my front differential apart and it had the upgrade bolts in it and in my opinion, it was over kill in the first place and hell to get off, I had to use a chisel to get them to unscrew and the bolts are locktited into the ring gear and I stripped the socket out of the heads of a couple bolts, so you don't need the nut.

      Just purchased a T-Boss 760 and before putting any miles on it I'm going over all the fluids, grease and problem areas that I've read about online because I know the factory quality control is garbage. 
      I've seen where everyone seems to have leaking axle seals after 2-300 miles on the T-Boss 550 and 760. I think I'm going to switch from the bellow-style diff breather to the automotive style diff breather that they use on my Tacoma and various other vehicles. I'll still keep it extended and infact run it even higher, probably into the air intake box, but I'm hoping this is what's causing the axle seal leak issue on these vehicles.  
      I'll do the modification and report back every couple hundred miles and let you know. I currently only have 8 miles, so it will be a few months before I find out if mine leaks like everyone elses.

      The conversion took about 350lbs. off the vehicle.  It never rode great, but now I feel every  crack in the road.  I have backed off spring compression nut to the point just under where they would move around if suspension was at full extension, but it is still very stiff.  I would like to put some softer coilover springs on it, but I have no idea what the spring rate is with the original springs so I would just be guessing on what to order.  Does anyone have the data for the original spring compression rate?  I am willing to give up a little ground clearance for a softer ride. Right now when sitting still the rear suspension is at or near full extension and the rear tires have several degrees of camber which will cause uneven wear if allowed to continue in this state.
