That's not a true locker. However if ur doing just as much or more street driving than off roading then you will appreciate it in the rear. The little bit of skipping between clutch engagement you won't notice off road.

As far as the front goes putting in a posi unit is a waste of money. You need a true locker rather it be a lock right, or a selectable locker something that will actually lock and stay locked as the only time it's used is off road.

Since my offroad time is really just light trails when deer or quail hunting, or camping with the wife, I didn't do any lockers. Got the Yukon Gear kit with a Limited slip diff and 1-piece axles in the rear, as well as their carrier set in the front also. I'm running 4.54 gears with 35" tires.

3.73 and Detroit true tracs both ends, should be 4.10 but that is hind sight. Before I am informed yes I know the true tac is a gear driven LSD.

What Transmission and tires are you running I was wondering about what gears to go with waiting on new tires to get here before I make that decision.

Since your running the true track I'm looking at have you had any issues with them. I mean when you need all 4 wheels spinning will all 4 grab and go. Not looking for a rock crawler or a mud machine. But when I lock in the front end I want to know I'm in 4wd with all 4 wheels pulling.

When i had the AMC20 /Dana 30 combo, i ran 4.56s on 33s (And later 35s) with ARBs front and rear.

Now with the Front Dana 44 and rear 60, i'm running 4.56s with a front ARB and a rear OX running on air.
