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.
