You are gunna be on me the rest of my life aren't you, haha. If I had a daily driver I would have time but the beast is my only ride.
Where can I find one at? And ours is 31 spline right?
But you would lose that 2" of lift in clearance.
I fully recommend a Detroit trutrac. The closest limited slip to a locker I've seen. Works like a charm when you are on the road but once one wheel starts slipping offroad, hold on because she's just going to keep going. My dad put one in his d44 in his 98 ram and I've compared it to my truck and there is no comparison. Both wheels keep on turning no matter what. Only complaint I've heard is if you are rock crawling and get one wheel off the ground. But the trick is to apply a little bit of brake and it'll kick back to the wheel with traction. I'm getting one when funds allow.

Is this the only kit I need? http://www.summitracing.com/parts/bc...model/ram-1500
I found a locker someone posted on here awhile back on BAS Offroad if that would be fine unless Summit has that too. Just not sure which one to go with on Summit.
And is there really a difference between the PA and the Summit brand 3" Body lifts? Besides $30, lol.
I'm making a list so sorry for all the questions.

Took the money I got from the black ram and bought this thing a couple nights ago. Picture was taken as soon as I bought it. It looks really nice when its cleaned up.
The best part of this buying and flipping cars hobby I have going, is that I now get to have the cars I've always wanted, and make a little money in the process.
This thing is nice. Runs amazing, and drives even better. I actually might consider keeping this one. Just has a few electrical issues. I was driving with the high beams on, and the lights just went completely out. Still had dash lights, and parking lights, but no head lights. I messed with the switch, nothing happened. They came back on after about a mile of driving. Hasn't done it since, but I also haven't used the high beams since for very long either. Then just tonight my left turn signals quit working if the headlights are on. If the lights are off they work fine. Also, when I hit the brakes with the headlights off, my fog lights come on. I've never dealt with electrical issues before, hopefully its something simple like a bad ground or something.

I just might do that with all my questions concerning my gears, posi, and lift lol.
