6sp is right. They are a bit more grabby than the stocker. And when they say that you might have to change your driving style a touch for it, their not lying. I've only had mine in for 3 weeks now but I really like it. Haven't towed heavy with it yet, but a really nice setup.

i have found that mine is a little grabby in reverse. it makes backing into a trailer kind of a pain in the *** but if you go real slow its not bad. For daily driving and towing its great, when its engaged that thing will never slip. if your good with a cluch you wont have any problems

For daily driving I would recommend their street dual disc kit.

Call south bend and talk to them and tell them what you want to do with your truck and they will help you out! They will go out of there way to help you out. == good lock ==

i just remembered something that the guys a south bend told me make sure you get a street double disk. if you get the other one it makes a lot of bad noise- metal on metal banging. theres nothing with that clutch but the street version has some pieces in there that make it a lot quieter.
