Help me out guys
 
Finally got my turbo kit done and somewhat tuned. First time 1/2 throttle boost pull and it blows the tires off. Well one tire, I'm pretty sure I have the non posi rear end.


2005 2WD 4.8 RCSB
s475 turbo




1. What rear do I have? 10 bolt 8.6?
2. Should I just put a tru trac in it?
3. Anything else that should be done besides better tires obviously?


Thanks guys.

Do you have the G80 code in your glove box? Either way an upgrade POSI is a good idea. I like the eaton LSD but the trutrac is popular also.

I'll take a look. I doubt I have the G80 code. I think I just have the regular non posi.

That's what I wanted, thanks! What size tires can fit under these trucks without cutting? 295, 305?

Have you lowered it, yet?

That's next on the list.. Probably a 4/6 drop.

With a 4/6 drop using a 20" wheel, a 275/45/20 is maxed out with a little rub on hard dips and bumps. That tire has a diameter of 29.7 so if you are using a different wheel size that will help you dial in a tire size.

295/55/15 should be just fine then.. Thanks for the help. Your truck looks awesome.

I have a 3/5 drop and I have ran a 305 before but there are more options in the 295 range
