lotta stuff to process may be nixing the posi at this point so I can afford the more major stuff
I'm going with a 3.08 rear, and a $330 spartan locker instead of posi for a budget, streetable setup. I have some 3.40 gears that I might not be using if you want a nice medium... I'm kinda torn between 3.40 and 3.08 but leaning to 3.08 since I'm just looking to cruise.
