The diff is in the name. One is normal with 1 ton stuff and the other is over the knuckle. Like over the steering knuckle. They show pictures on there site for a ref.

Just be sure to read everything. I believe there is a bit more work involved with over the knuckle. One may require wheel spacers. Read read read read read! itll help a bit

OTK also requires removal or moving your sway bar brackets so if it's street driven keep that in mind. I ran their kit for a few years and it's OK but has some play in it due to the design. They take some out by replacing a grease boot with a block but they wear out after 5-6 months and you have to replace them. Also with OTK you have to move the track bar to the top of the axle or you get bump steer. I didn't but I haven't driven mine on pavement in several years.

The spacer refers to both over and under. I ended up twisting my tie rod ends in opposite directions to get rid of some of the play but it makes them wear out faster and bind a little when articulating.
