Rear Splines and Driveshaft maintenance

[RUDE DOG - Steelers]

I will be going to the Dark Side with the Yokohama A048 tire over the next couple weeks.  I need info for what I need as far as maintenance while the wheel is off.  So far I have come up with this:
Clean and grease rear hub splines
Order new O-rings here:

Pull driveshaft and clean and lube.
I am going to get the Bel-Ray grease for the rear splines.  Can that also be used for the driveshaft as well?
I also read about a Thrust O-ring, should I order that also?  I want to make sure I have everything I need when the tire gets here.
I will also be doing the Nut Cage mod.  Im putting on a 205/55 but I just installed Progressive 430 11.5 inch shocks and slipped the forks 5/8 of an inch.  From reading the archives it should work

Yea get the thrust washer. Depending on how many times your tire was changed, I would change it. As far as the grease, you can use it on the splines. Moly paste on the wheel splines and  grease on the drive shaft. Now i have used grease on the wheel side but it all flung off onto the rim. But after 15,000 miles one year they looked great.

From the Archive readings, a lot have used the Bel Ray on the rear hub splines and rear of the driveshaft buy Moly paste on the front of the driveshaft.  I was hoping the Bel-Ray would do it all.

If it will work for all the others, It'll work the front of the drive shaft.

I think you would be Ok using the BelRay.  I have been using it on advise from the dealer where I bought my I/S.  They said that was all they used and had never seen a failure.  I have had good luck.  It is a real sticky grease.  Won't sling off.

I would also get the Oil Seal that fits around the end of the drive shaft.  I wish that i had 6000 miles ago...it would have saved me having to buy a new drive shaft.

  The Yokahama A048 looks like a great darkside choice, has anybody tried it yet? Let us know how it works.

Several others have used the Yoko when I did my searches in the archives.  Great tire but shorter life because of softer compound and shorter tread depth.  Although all those that did have this tire had it in the Medium Compound and not the Medium Hard which I will be ordering.  I posted questions about the tire last week asking others who have had the tire their feedback but I didnt get much of a response, so Im just going off of the archive opinions I read.
Where is the best place to get all these misc. O-rings and seals?  I know I can get the one O-ring set from Caronlina Bike, but what about the Thrust washer and Oil Seal?  Is there a kit of the needed O-rings and seals to make life easier than buying them from different places?
