The rearend in my Cherokee finally gave out and I need to have the spider gears replaced. I had hoped to put a locker in eventually but was hoping to do more research into it before now. Any suggestions?

A little more about my cherokee drivetrain: 6 1/2" lift, 33" tires, stock gears and transfer case.

A loc-rite or an Aussie Locker will almost cost the same as new side gears...go with the locker.

i'd say locker but im not sure about costs of the two options

you also have to think about if you put a locker in your jeep which one to go with. if you get a full carrier locker, you have to re-set your gearset. your best bet for the cheapest price would be a lunchbox locker. if you are not worried about paying a little more you could get a full carrier locker, and then you have to worry about the gears, and if you plan on running the same gears forever. if you plan on regearing to a lower gear i would just do it all at once with a full locker.

A Loc-rite or Aussi Locker take the place of the spider gears and is very simple to install without having to adjust backlash and pinion depth, or any of that crap.

Definitely go with lock right you can get 1 for around 300 dollars and its one of the best investments I've made.
