Powertrax no-slip traction system

Has anyone installed a Powertrax no-slip traction system made ny Richmond on a Ford f150 2WD and 4.2l V-6 engine auto tranny?
Was it easy to install?
Any problems since installation?
Does it make a difference in snow? <!-- / message --><!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: ad_showthread_firstpost_sig --><!-- END TEMPLATE: ad_showthread_firstpost_sig -->

A friend of mine had a Powertrax in his '68 Firebird and didin't like it. He said it made lots of noise. I would think the easiest and cheapest route would be to swap out the whole rear.

Thank's for the info.
I was thinking of lifting my f150 2 inches,so swapping rear end to a taller gear ratio is the way to go.
My main reason for inquiring about this product was because I will be hauling a boat out of water from ramps and I don't want to start spinning with a open diff.
