i have a 98 xj with 3.5 inches of lift i was doing some research and was looking at buying a locker but im not sure if its worth it or not, is it?

 

very much worth it!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Get an Aussie, I got a rear one, besides lift and tires, best upgrade ever.

 

Well, what kind of locker? Selectable, auto, YADA,YADA...

 

Not being a Smart A$$ but in my opinion if you have to ask somebody else if it is worth the money to get a locker for your Jeep then you really don't need one. I was 4wheeling on trails that were too hardcore for my Jeep to make it through with open diffs, was when I realized I wanted them.

 

+1

 

I think the more important question is, whats worth it more, a winch or lockers? lockers will get you threw more then open diffs, but regardless were you get stuck a winch will most likely get you out .

 

Unless there's nothing to hook to ...

 

why would it not be worth it to get lockers? im putting in a aussie locker in my 8.25 in a couple weeks cant wait!

 

I wish I had them this past weekend trying to drive through 3+feet of unplowed snow up a hill. I made it, eventually. Definitely on my "to do" list.

 

Have a detroit in my 8.25 and couldn't be happier, especially with the last few snowstorms.

 

Once you lock, you never go back.



WORTH EVERY PENNY.

 

My XJ had a perfect body...lol...until I installed the lockers front and rear.

 

That just means your weren't wheeling hard enough!! my body has been beat up since day one lol and I was open at day one. not anymore now. moab beat my Heep up!

lockers are worth it. but it depends on what you want out of your jeep. if you wheel a lot and you find yourself getting hung up then lock it. if your just cruising trails with low difficulty and not really wheeling too much then leave it open. honestly id go with a Dana spicer limited slip in the rear. its what i have for my 98 and wheel a lot and drive it every day, and they aren't as expensive as full lockers.

if you decide to lock it, go with an aussie locker or something selectable. just my .02

 

ok so sounds like it's worth it but is it worth it to put it on a dana 35
