Will you set up a conquest LSD for the front of my truck? Or do I want to leave it loose for the front end?

For on road use you will want little to no preload, essentially start with it as it is. You can also swap plates and remove the spring plate and swap that for a flat. This way under light throttle it will open fully but it will come in fairly aggressively when you apply power. This can induce under-steer till you lift throttle, can be a bit unsettling.
If used primarily off road you want to change the stack to get full grip. To me I still prefer low preload but you do want the spring plates in it still so it will ramp up when a wheel lifts.

There is a Mazda RX7 torsen diff that with some machining will go in the front of these as well.


That's the setup I used in the front of my Raider. I took almost all the preload out ( removed the pre load springs) of it and added extra clutch plates so that when it does come in it has more grip.

On the road in the snow its been decent. I did find that when making sharp turns in heavy loose stuff, goosing the throttle a little pulled it around the corner. I never got going fast enough for understeer.

The low pre load LSD w extra plates is great for an auto. All it takes is a little preload on the brake pedal as you take off to get it to generate some decent friction.
