Traction Concepts?

Hi everyone.
I found this while looking for an LSD diff for my 79-80 FB. Does anyone have any prior experience with this?

Are they selling third members? Or is this some kind of gimmick you shove in the spider gears?

Joined in Jan 2011 and has one post - this one which "asks" about a product. Click bait, it seems to me. Probably spamming boards to get interest in a product.

Yeah, probably.

Looks like you take the product and jam it in your open diff and it locks it up. But this isn't a very accessible rear end. You have to pull the half shafts to even get at it. Too much effort for weekend tracking. Ford rear sure thing, but not this one.

It would be easier (and I have considered it) to weld a third member and put it in a rear end. Then swap the rear end for whenever I wanna do donuts or be an ***. But even that is a lot of work just to be an ***.

I assure there is no spamming. I just asked an honest question.

I apologize for any suspicion and I will refrain from asking any further "internet search" related questions.

And yeah. For those who did not go to the website, it is a device you "jam" into the gears. But it looks like a well made one.
