Default Swaying Rear.. Time to replace G80

The rear of my truck started to make the habbit of swaying when driving in the sand under throttle drifting to the right many times. So, I guess this is a sign that G80 needs replacement. Truck is in my sig. Truck made 440rwhp/460rwtq with stock L92 injectors maxed out (lean). Will put bigger injectors and retune it.

The question is what is the exact difference between Eaton Posi LSD and Detroit Locker? Which is more suited to driving in the sand.I am interested more in offroad manners.

From Summit
Eaton Posi ETN-19559-010 $489.95
Detroit Locker DTL-187C148A $649.95

Do I need different size carrier bearings?

It says Eaton Posi Requires special bearing size. Can anybody confirm the fitment of the two above lockers into 2003 Chevy Silverado 1500 and give the correct PN for the required bearings if any.

Sponsor on the right, sells all the parts you need at lower cost than summit with free shipping for Ptnet members. I'm sure someone else will lead you to the search button.
