plus if you get in a situation where one tire is off the ground it acts like an open differential. to the OP have looked on http://car-part.com/ ?

 

this is true. I would hold out for a non LSD 8.8

 

Here is what I am thinking. I can't just throw money @ this thing right now.. my original plaan was to get a new axle and put a locker in it right away. But now I'm thinking of running the lsd for now and spend the money I would have. Spent on it to put a locker in the front. Then down the road putting a locker in the rear.. all I need is a new carrier right? And they r only 100 bucks.... so an aussie in the front and lsd in the rear.. I would think it would do pretty well for now....

 

Plus the 8.8 I am getting has only 87,000 miles so it should be in good condition

 

Any thoughts on that idea?

 

Bump- man this forum fills up quick

 

when you replace the carrier you need to have the gears setup again. so consider that into the price. thats why I said hold out on a non LSD axle. non lsd axle all you would have to do is remove the spider gears and install aussie

 

Yeah that's a good point.. It kinda seems like a wash because they don't have any 4:10 ratio axles near me that are not LS. So I would have to buy a different ratio and regear IT anyway.. lol I feel like there is a mind grenade going off in my head.. My wife is constantly teasing me when I am on the phone looking for parts... And who knows with a locker in the front it may be a while before I need to put a rear locker in... (wishful thinking) ha ha
