Air lockers would be better for a dd but with consume your wallet

Air, electric or cable locker would be the best, DD or the trail, but are NOT good on the wallet. Autolocker, better on the wallet, and work fine for DD.

X3^ air electric and cable lockers are the best but expensive and you will also reset up your gears if you dont know how that will be costly best bet is a set of lunchbox lockers like the lockrites or the aussie locker both good choices and very dependable with tires up to 35"

My 02 follows...

I did not want auto lockers for my daily driver. I dislike lockers on pavement as it is, and a 5spd will intensify the undesirable features of an auto locker...

I went with detriot TrueTrac's, which are gear driven limited slips, some folks refer to them as a torsion type limited slip.

I love them for what they are.
Invisable on the pavement, and by running the E-brake and foot brake they can be locked off road.
Having said all that, if money had not been the issue it was, I would have gone ARB, and there are times on the trail I wish I had.
