    I am looking into buying a traction lock rear end for my truck. (Ford's Limited Slip) I have an open 8.8 with 3.73 gears. How many spline do I need? Is the Limited Slip worth the money to switch over or not? Any other info on the subject would be welcome as well. Thanks!

    It would be easier to just get a ls into your rear . IMO
