Ford 8.8 Trac-Lok LSD
Our Benchmark LSD Choice for Ford 8.8 Swaps
After extensive testing across drift, track, and street applications, the Ford Performance Traction-Lok has proven to be the most balanced and reliable LSD option for the Ford 8.8 platform. Among all the differential units we’ve evaluated, it consistently delivers the smoothest engagement, which translates to:
clean and predictable slides
consistent lock-up
minimal on-power understeer on street tires (a common issue we’ve seen with more aggressive LSD designs)
We run this differential in our own SLG race cars as a testament to its capability. It has helped secure Gridlife Time Attack championship podium finishes, and it has also contributed to race wins in Gridlife GLTC wheel-to-wheel competition.

Many high-end motorsport LSDs look impressive on paper but are engineered around full slick tires—and when used on 200TW or similar street compounds, they can cause excessive push, unpredictable transitions, or unstable corner-entry behavior. The Traction-Lok avoids these pitfalls by offering progressive, usable torque bias across a wide range of tires and driving conditions.

This is our go-to differential for anyone building a serious, fast, and predictable 8.8 swap—whether for street, track, drift, or Time Attack.
