Effin tall 2wd truck.........Anyways, caltracs will not help you with traction on the street. LSD won't help much either, with the torque you are making. Drag radials of some sort will help, but they are $$$ and wear out quickly. Trade the thing in on a 4x4.

This won't solve your traction problems but it'll save your wallet in the long run: get a real LSD as in right now, the G80 is known to blow up on stock trucks. Your truck will destroy it fast and will take the rear end with it.
