Figure that's plenty long enough for highways with some balls out acceleration. I forget what they come stock with. 3.73 might not be a bad choice either.
But if you want the ass end sliding, you definatley want a LSD.

damn that sucks, do you know how to take out the front grills, i got the 4 screws out but i think their another one by the turn signals?
yeah open the hood and there are 2 nuts that hold in the turn signals undo them and the grille comes out(just took mine out yesterday...to be painted and polished..)
