Any one running a 3.42s in a 2 series posi?

I plan on running a 3.42 for a 2 series carrier. My questions are what posi do you run and have you had any problems? I've read that some limited slips will "eat" into your carrier. Thanks for any help.

You are better off buying a new carrier/posi unit. SLP (www.slponline.com) has them on sale for $80!! If you do that, the gears will be cheaper too. I have one and i am very happy with it. I have never heard that some posi units wearout the carrier. Auburn posi's wear out the cones in them but not the actual carrier.
