Yes. This is an option. We have such a vehicle, and any 4W drive specialty shop (as well as dealer) can install it. Works as well as GM Positraction, and is similar in mechanical design.

read the manual
Most likely you have a Limited Slip Diff. I have a 98 GC and notice the same, additionally when backing up and turning the effect is more pronounced. MY GC is maintained religiously and I know there is nothing wrong with the drive train. I'd suggest that it's simply an effect of the Differential. In case you don't have a copy of the build sheet, you could take your VIN to a dealer and ask them to pull the build info (may be free or they may charge you). If your sheet indicates Limited Slip then you really have nothing to worry about.
