Go a different route, something that still has replacement parts available.

A clutch type LSD will continue to function when a wheel is unloaded (airborne, ice, oil, etc) whereas a helical type will function as an open diff in the situation. Most clutch types can also be adjusted to behave differently.

How many miles of each type of driving do you put on it in a year?

How often are you comfortable tearing the trans down to rebuild the LSD?

How long will King have the kits available? The LSD has been discontinued for some time now.
