Default rear end suggestions

Well I've had my truck for a couple years now and I'm thinking about changing the rear end out I want to actuly burn both tires instead of one lol I'm new to this so any tips will be helpful btw its 4x4 with towing package and my tires are kinda big to be doin some burnouts so thought i would just ask someone who knows what theyre talking about and see if the would recommend a good setup to get the power to the ground and still have the 4wheel drive if i need it

eaton trutrac for 2 wheel wonder then as far as the power chunk the tb spacerget a cam lt's and some tranny work and a nice stall should leave a good footprintoh and if your on a budget just get a dyno tune and some 4 10's and that would get you "started"

Stock g80 for cheap. But there is a reason that people get rid of them.

If you actually use your truck in an enviroment where you need 4WD, I would suggest reading this thread to help you better narrow down your selection. https://www.performancetrucks.net/fo...d.php?t=456366
