i thought about it for a while. its the same price as a regular bottom end and should have more torque which is always a plus.

it would help if i had a true LSD, but overall its a good investment for the extra 100.00 (if thats what it still costs)

I've got it too. Its just fine. For some reason, they have dropped the LR kit down to $999 (Standard at $1,099). Now, you have no excuse not to buy it. And, be sure that Howell sends you the spacer rings for the lower ring land. Its a 1-piece spring steel ring. They might forget, so be sure to check the boxes for them.

What kind of increses have you noticed if any ? Did you have to do anything special after installation?
