caltracs or similar will do wonders in stopping axle tramp. But with power in a ute you will still encounter wheelspin even if you can get your rear to behave

i run a hilux lsd and some home made caltrac type traction rods. Recently i managed a 1.9 60 foot (with wheelspin) on 7 inch circuit slicks . And thats with only 114rwkw.

for utes with a lot of power, wheel tubs are the way to go
