Default One paw on dry concrete the other spins on ice

What options do I have on changing my rear end or what can I pick up to make both wheels have traction. Oh and how $$
I so much regret not going with a 4x4

On a another truck I had, it wasn't a 4x4 I had the rear end welded...worked great
your truck should be fine to do it to... would be scared to do this if you had some big HP and gears but you don't
Just make sure you take it to a person that really knows how to weld

um, no thanks. maybe somewhere that has all straight roads, but not the curvy ones in north georgia. you'd spend all your time in the ditch.
