The point being lost here is that you are comparing your short wheelbase part time 4 wd like a sammy to a LWB full time 4 wheel drive. a Detroit is much more "invisible" in the back of a rangie or disco. I ran a detroit in the back of my Series coiler for a while and found it was not troublesome. Key is stay on or off the throttle in turns, don't release it half way through or the locker releases and you get the rear end jump you describe. I now run dual ARBs.
