Any 98+ rear end would work provided it is the same gear ratio.

The crush sleeve is crushed while you tighten down the pinion nut. This should only be done as a last step after you have already gotten the gear pattern good between the pinion and the ring gear. There is a lot of information available on various websites about setting up a rear end, however, it is not something that should be attempted by yourself the first time through. It pays to have someone that has done it before watching you. There are tricks of the trade that make it easier as well.
