Default locker for 8.25 27 spline

I wanted an aussie locker, but they only carry the 29 spline according to thier site.

Any suggestions? I'm not looking to buy right now, unless its stupid cheap, just trying to get the feel out for one. Still dont know if I want to go that far on my Cherokee.

they sell powertrax lockrights for the 27 spline 8.25. They are pretty much identical to aussies.

Where are you from? I know a guy selling a complete 8.25 29 spline for $50 in WVA.

Yeah unless you really want an aussie. Get the lockright, you can't go wrong with it. I ran those in my jeeps and they are great traction aids.

i ran a lock right in my 27 sp 8.25 on 31s and 33s without issues, and was hard on it. sold the axle to my friend who did neutral drops and power brakes with it like it was his job and it never skipped a beat until the pinion bearing started growling. he was on 33s as well. he sold the axle and for all i know its still kickin.
