Basically what the title says. I have a 12 bolt 4.11 rear end and the jacked up wheel spin test, and the more traditional wheel spin test

hehe, tell me its open. I plan to open it up sometime soon and make sure it isn't a posi and the clutches aren't just busted or something. Just wanted to ask you guys if they even made a 4.11 open?

They made 4.57 open so I'd say yes. In cars I think you had to get the limited slip with 4.10 gears but not in trucks.

Thanks for the reply. I kind of figured they did make them but I just wanted to make sure. It seems strange to me because I know my truck was somebody's farm truck, you'd think they would've got the posi.
