Rear diff

[5spd Z71]

I'm looking for a solid replacement for the G80 currently in my truck. Going with 35's and 4.56 gears and since its gonna be out, I want to replace it so it doesn't grenade when I'm off road. I was looking at the Eaton truetrac. Any opinions? Suggestions? Thanks

The TrueTrac is a great carrier, I have one in my Monte Carlo. Eaton makes fine products. Personally I'd get a Detroit Locker for your application though. Reason being is that with the way the TrueTrac works, if you ever get one rear wheel off the ground completely all the power will transfer to that wheel and you won't go anywhere. On a street car TrueTracs are awesome, but I'd go for a real locker in a truck. Especially a 4WD.

You could probably get around the free-wheeling situation by applying a little brake, but in a truck I'd just prefer not to worry about it.

Going back to this, I've decided that I'm going with this diff;

But I do have some questions.... I know it requires a different race and bearing... but is that all that's needed? Where's the kit with the shims and bearings etc?

Summit lists this kit for that diff;

but says that this kit is for the larger bore axle.

Guess I need some help finding the correct kit I need..
