you would need a posi track dif AND 4.10 gears. i recommend going with an aftermarket LS dif. the factory trac lock as its called is crap. also 4.10 is above the gear/carrier slip so u have to take that into account when ordering

Is your truck 4WD, because you'll need 4.11s in the front too.

if your not real hard core rock climbing, high horsepower, and/or huge tires, you could change ring and pinion gears and add a powertrax noslip to the rear. its an affordable locker. i just put one in mine and it spins both wheels all the way to the deepest part of the mudhole.
avoid no-name gears. motive, yukon, etc are good.
be aware of the 2 different versions of powertrax for chrylser 9.25 one is for open carrier, one is for factory limited slip. if you not sure pull the cover off and double check. if your still not sure take a picture of it and post it up here.
