I've only put 1800 miles on my F150 XLT Supercrew 4x4 with LS 3.55 but 2 trips to Lake Tahoe in the Dumping snow, I mean a couple of inches an hour type snow
and I'm sold.In the 20 or more years of Snowboarding and driving non LS vehicles in the snow, LS makes it way harder to get the rear end loose and once loose it's much easier to control
I made sure to take it out in a field and go nuts in the snow
Hell my wife could'nt believe how much easier it was to do controled donuts in the snow compared to the old Nissan.

After having a truck without the L/S, I'll NEVER buy a truck off the lot without it. I'll order the exact smae thing and wait 15 weeks before I'll take a truck without it... it means that much. Maintenance? Peanuts.
