What you need to get is a limited slip locker rear, i have one in my dakota its made by powertacx one of the best out there. It is all machanical an uses NO clutch plates, heres a web site for were i got mine from. This unit will allow both tires to spin under acceleration but if you make a turn it will alow each tire to turn at its own speed, but if you hit the gas you will dedinitly spin both an whip it. http://www.drivetrain.com/noslipdodgetruck.html#Dakota..... this is a link to the web site it also describes how it works. This part its awsome, it is like havein a possi rear but you can still make your turns with out problems, unless your feelin you want to whip it.
