[QUOTE="bet on black, post: 1298454, member: 29677"] i carry zero weight in the bed...it is not necessary with proper differential setup in my experience. might be necessary for a rwd truck in a snowy environment (a buddy of mine in college did that to get by in Boston in a rwd ford ranger), especially one with an open diff, but not a 4x4. i'm well aware of the dynamics of hipo motor in a pickup. to raise funds for my raptor purchase, i sold a 1993 gen 1 ford lightning (mostly stock), and a 2003 gen 2 lightning with an 82mm large frame turbo that made around 700 hp on the street, that i owned for 15 years (bought new) and built it all myself, from the motor to fabricating the turbo kit. (pic attached) sometimes, with a lot of torque, it just ain't going to stick, so you need to be able to just let it eat the tires some, and pedal and steer it through that. maybe i just drive like a crazy person, but that's another issue altogether... i was planning to put a whipple on this thing, but that will just exacerbate the street traction issue, and it seems silly to increase power until it can put it to the ground. i guess if i drove like a granny on the street and only hauled ass off road, the rear e-locker would be cool. i wish there was an option for a limited slip that would then lock like a spool for off road excursions. that would be the best of both worlds...
