Aaron,
I have both a No-Slip in the rear of my Dak and a Warn winch on the front.
The No-Slip makes a world of difference when off-roading and I have found it
to be VERY well behaved on pavement. My brother has a Detroit locker in his
Jeep CJ7 and he has very noticeable "locker attitude" ( banging/popping when
turning, etc... ) where as the only real way I can tell the No-Slip is back
there is that the truck a WHOLE LOT more of traction when starting out and
it takes quite a bit more to break the tires loose...but when I do it leaves
two 12.5 inch wide black marks instead of one.
As far as off-road performance goes I think the $400 I spent on the No-Slip
is just about the best money I spent...except for maybe the front basher, as
I like to run into/over things.
It was also very easy to install...I did mine in my yard in about 1 1/2
hours with only regular hand tools and a torgue wrench.
