best rear for towing

[crazy4offroad]

Get a 3/4 ton 14-bolt (8-lug full-floater) they have the same width between the leaf spring pads as a 1/2 ton. One tons are set up for dual wheels (usually) and are narrower between the spring pads. Other than that, and a little difference in the ribbing of the 3rd member casting there's no difference.

as far as towing, what are your feeling on gov loc's- detroit loc ect...
yes no? or open

Gov Locs arent too bad in a 14-bolt. I would rather have limited slip or even open diff than a locker in a tow rig though. I would go for a limited slip if it were me. For my mud truck it got welded lol.

Open would be the best and cheapest for towing.

Big Bearing flattop Knucle dana 44 front diff ect...
