first, is anyone using any of these? if so are they worth the money?
second, I've been wanting to do the 1.7 roller rockers for quite some time so ill probably end up order those from the same site.
third i want a locker or a posi in the rear. ive been eyeing the detroit truetrac. my buddy has one in the front of his yota and loves it. i guess the manufacturers warranty is void if using a bigger tire than a 32 or 33. anyone running this and possibly know why?

On the topic of the truetrac, that is, in my opinion, the best option for a limited slip. However I would go with a locker like a detroit or yukon grizzly. Unfortunately I haven't gotten my detroit installed yet, so I can't speak of road manners, but many use them on the road with great success.

The automatic lockers are great, you just need to adjust your driving style accordingly. When it us under power, it is locked, when coasting, it can unlock. So, powering thru corners is a bad idea.

Get the Detroit Locker in the back and the Truetrac in the front. You will not regret it. About the only time I have any trouble with the Locker in the back is when the road is really wet and I get on the gas, but you will learn how to drive it easily. If you are running those 35s in your sig you better put some bigger gears in there too while you have it torn apart. If I were you I'd go with 4.56 or even 4.88 for those tires. Gears are without a doubt the biggiest jump in torque short of putting a bigger engine in and they sure help the transmission live longer.

Plug the EGR. You can get a Mopar M1 intake for MPI magnum v8's.
