LS Rear, 3.73 or 4.10's. I prefer 4.10's, I put them in just about everything.

I had 2.73 open and went to change the fluid in the diff and found teeth laying in the bottom of the case and idk how the hell they got there but anyway i went to the junk yard and got a 3.55 limited slip rear end and man you'd be amazed... My truck is 2wd and I don't get stuck
