Default 2013 JKU "anti-spin" rear axle??

ok so i understand its a limited slip diff, but what is it? is it a clutch lsd or a torsen? i've had lsds in past rigs but never really noticed them, the JK on the other hand i notice this one, i can hear the inside rear trying to spin when i accelerate moderately hard through a corner as an lsd should, just never had one work this good, i'm use to them being POSs and only being noticeable on ice where i dont want it anyways

when i bought the jeep i was hesitant about getting the lsd because i figured it would be crap and i'd junk it when i regear but i'm deffinitely liking this one and wanna say good job jeep on this one

and if i keep the lsd in the back i'm leaning towards a detroit tru-trac (torsen) in the front HP-D30, how well a tru-trac hold up to 35s and moderate wheelin?

It is a clutch pack LSD but you also have BLD ( brake lock differential) combined. The BLD uses the ESP/TC ABS system to brake the rear wheel that is spinning so the wheel with traction can pull.
