F150 with what engine, gear set, wheelbase, lift, tires? It also depends on what you want to do with the truck. For most general 4wd use on a daily basis my factory limited slip is more than enough.

Question #1 what are you gonna use your truck for? Question #2 what size tires are you gonna run on it? As for locker's if your just gonna run 33's then locktite or powertrax will work for you if you are going to a 35 or bigger then you'll need to get a suspension lift kit and go with different locker's like ARB,Detroits,Auburn, and so forth name brand's. If your just gonna run it as a daily driver then limit slip will work for you if you don't already have that in your truck.

Here are some traction diff manufacturer websites if you want to read about their different products:

www.tractech.com (Detroit Locker full-case auto-locker, True Trac worm-gear limited slip, Electrac electrically selectable locker/ltd-slip, EZ Locker auto-locker that goes in the stock case).

www.powertrax.com (Lock Right and NoSlip auto-lockers that go in the stock case).

www.auburngear.com (2 models of cone-clutch limited slips, ECTED electrically selectable locker/ltd-slip).

www.traction.eaton.com (Eaton Posi clutch-type limited slip, E-Locker electrically selectable locker).

www.precisiongear.com (Dana-designed Trac Lok and Power Lok clutch-type limited slips for Dana axles).

www.torsen.com (worm-gear limited slip).

www.arb.com (Air Locker, pnuematic operated open diff/spool).

Depending on the year of your F150, your axles are most likely Dana 44 TTB front, Ford 8.8" rear.
