I have the Detroit True Trac on the rear axel and really like it. Very well mannered on road and off. Not quite as aggressive as a Detroit Locker but for my purposes it works great. I didn't want to hear it clicking in and out and so on like a Detroit Locker.

Which ones have you looked at? Most all of them are pricey for the 8.25 which you most likely have.

Mike and I have the same set up. I agree with em all the way. Well mannered. Not wicked expensive like some others. It smashes off road though.

Here is the one i was talking about its from Powertrax. Seems like they would work good they don't have any disks to replace.
