Also any info on what slipper pads I should run with the slipper basket?
I think it depends on when you got it. My truck came with 5K on both ends, I think. The new .pdf manual on the AE site says 20k front, 5k rear. I run 30k/5k. I have ran as high as 60K in the front, but took it out because some users reported breaking CVA's with it that heavy.
If you are going to run the topshaft unpinned, I recommend a standard pad inside the bucket, and HD pads against the slipper plate to start. Users seem to prefer overdrive on the front with the decoupled slipper, so that's something else to try.
