BTW, don't waste money on a pinion depth gauge. I never use one. Learn to read the paint and you don't need one. A 9" Ford is the easiest to setup because it's so easy to change things. The shims between the pinion support and case set the pinion depth. The side adjusters set the backlash.

You'll also need a good spanner wrench to turn the side adjusters.
