Default Anti-Spin

How does it work the anti-spin axle? It is a ccomputer controled system or what it is exactly? I ordered it, the truck fells very controlled when I take hard turns, not like others 4x2. And lastly going uphill in slippery conditions, the anti-spin wold give me some benefits or not?

Im not really sure that limited slip is EXACTLY the same thing that anti-spin. Are you??

I had the idea that maybe they make the same function, but in a different way. I've seen another threads where someone says that antispin = limited slip and a lock, and then someone says that they are different things, the fact is that I dont understand who is correct??

limited slip is a very good all around rear-end. If you ever travel off-road and you want to optimize your traction when you are off-road, the limited-slip posi would be the way to go. Limited-slip provides traction to one wheel when traction is lost on either wheel, so say you floored it around a corner, usually the outside tire would not have any power and the inside tire would spin(peel-out) whatever you want to refer to it as. This prevents the vehicle from losing control and fishtailing or spinning out like what would happen in a posi-trac equipped vehicle. It really depends on your use whether or not you would benefit from the limited-slip. Hope I could help explain it a little better, I did notice you had a reply that directed you to Google.
