most cars and trucks don't have true posi units they have limited slip units, this helps with turning. sure a lot of trucks are running 4:10 rearends I believe even the aerostar came with a 4:10 unit but do you intend to pull tree stumps or use your car to pull a trailer or is it a 1/4 mile demon. a 4:10 gear ratio will cause your motor to rev higher at highway speeds unless you have really tweaked the horsepower up or if your transmission is geared up differently and highway speeds will kill your gas mileage either way. My advice is to think hard and find a good gear man to talk to.

If your car is a AODE you will notice a nice improvement. If a 5speed don't go lower than a 3.73. I would find a 8.8 from a GT and just switch rears. It is something you can do yourself and you get a Trac-Loc and can probably find one with 3.73 or 4.10.
