IF you want to downgrade to a open rear end sure. Traction control has nothing to do with limited slip.

8.8s come with a limited slip so by changing gears, your only replacing the gears. You still keep your limited slip.

Limited slip means; If one wheel, loses traction the other wheel still spins with it.

open end would be; the wheel you lose traction in keeps spining while the one that has traction basically gets no movement

you want to keep your limited slip

i have no knowledge on the 3.8l[8D]

dont they come with a 7.5? i dont think they come with posi.

just getting gears is fine if you only want quicker accel. for just driving around, no real need for lsd there.
