Im getting a 98 f150 4x4 and im guessing that its an 8.8 open rear end.
Has anyone installed an aftermarket limited slip or locker system in these trucks? im looking for the best system for severe snow and decent for the highways and the odd offroading trip. any suggestions or price estimate would be great.
thanks

 

If the truck has a 4.6 motor it's an 8.8 rear. If it's got a 5.4,it will be a 9.75 rear.
Eaton makes one of the best L/S diffs in my opinion. I run one in my truck and I drag race it some. They run in the 500 to 600 range.

 

ive herd of Eaton before. Do you no were you can buy there stuff? im in Canada

 

Not sure who ships to Canada but I know summit racing has them.
here ya go. Lots of places have them.

thanks for the link. im starting to wonder if it would be just as easy to find a LS rear end from a scrap yard

 

You might be able to save some money if you do that and put it in yourself.
