what positive locking differential would work with that? I plan on putting 4.10s in as well? Would I have to put the posi-lock in at the same time, or can they be done at different stages? Thanks!

you have to make sure it's for the new body style truck.

part # 19559-010 should be your application.

What about a Detriot Locker Trutrack? They appear to be a few less bucks and also appear to be a nice unit.

Might help if you planned on doing the Eaton yourself. I didn't tackle gears, which I hear should be something left to the experienced.
