It's well worth shimming the diffs, they will last much longer. Just keep checking everything regularly, especially the drive cup pins and any screws that go into metal. It would be a good idea to remove all the drive cup pins and put loctite on them. Only use a very small amount of med strength loctite.

Good advise imo

also, I would go ahead and be sure all your wheel nut's are tight. They come loose slowly and if you don't notice you can tear up the wheel hex.

After 1 gallon of fuel my diff's needed shimming.

here's a video of diff inspection in the first post of this thread . https://www.hpisavageforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4451

Motor mount bolts-and all others really-make sure they stay tight....Keep air filter clean...service shocks and diffs...
