    Question Open diff w/4:10 ?

    I have the funds to get the 4:10's but not a locker due to me being 17 and working at a grocery store. My ? is will I be able to hook up on street/strip with having 305/40/22 if I get just 4:10's and not a locker? Other mods in sig.
    All comment's appreciated!!

    Personally, I would wait. Save up because youll just have to crack it open agian, to put the locker in. Might as well do it once, the right way. Open diff sux big donkey ****!!!.

    Limited slip is what I meant. The thing with waiting is that as long as it takes me to save that kind of money it will probably be a year but if I can break it into steps I can get the gears now and LS at christmas is how my thinking is going and cracking into it twice is no big deal.
    What I'm wondering is with my mods will I be Ok for alittle while and not roast the tires of the line?

    I dont think you will have roasting tire problems... But right now I know that if it is even a little wet, and I am on a hill at a stop, Its a pita to get going. If I had 4.10's and no locker, I probably could not make it to work. There is a low water crossing that I have to drive through. And a steep hill after it. I have trouble going up it with stock gears.
    If it was me and I knew I would not be able to get a locker for a while, I would have gotton a locker first. It would have been very easy if you got something like power trax because it takes the place of the spider gears. Install is easy with no gear resets. If you want to put the 4.10's in at least find a stock govloc for cheap to throw in. They can be like $50 sometimes.
    Just My 2 cents.

    I was going to make the same suggestions as jeff, no more power then you are putting down I would look into a govloc as a temporary fix.

    Piss on it and walk away.
