Buy a tru-trac rear diff.

This would be the best time to re-gear if you plan to mod the vehicle more and want gearing to help with it.

They come as just a unit, swap your ring gear over if you plan to keep the same gears. I'd have a shop install the unit if you don't know what you are doing, if they are setup wrong it will burn up and you're out even more money.

I have been running an eaton posi in my rear end for about 10 years and have no complaints, decided to go posi over any sort of locker to allow the wheels to turn at different speeds in turns.... Though if i had to do it again i would go tru trac, i agree with ffdp on having a shop or someone who knows how to set up a rearend if youdont know how!!!
