Axle

I am looking at a truck. It has 331 ratio regular axle. I live in the snow and do some off road ... Not extensive Grouse hunting stuff hunting stuff. Should I reconsider to get 355 limited slip?

Thanks in advance

Ben

Get the limited slip.

You only need the lower gear ratio if you plan on towing.

Definately get the LS axle, 3.55.1 or the 3.73.1
