Axle Ratios

Can anyone tell me the differance in the axle ratios for the 2012 F350 gas engine and the benefit of one over the other? 3.7 non limited slip and the 3.73 electronic locking axle ratio
Thank you for any feedback

3.73 non limited slip = open differential. This is good for street driving, if that is all you do. Dont plan on ANY off road travel. Some dirt roads might cause problems.

3.73 electronic locking = Best option. Open for street driving with the ability to lock the left and right wheels together for the most traction off road.
