Wheelin with lockers is a world of difference, dat fo sho. Maybe you should quit trying to follow much bigger tires?

 

lol well ya but what fun would that be? like i said JEEP OVER CONFIDENCE. i got the whole "my Jeep can do anything yours can" way of thinking,
guess i just gotta make my jeep as big as my ego! lol...

 

^ain't that the truth, lol.

 

^ now if money just grew on trees id be set! and i think i might make that my sig hehehe

 

where did you find those lockers at? was looking at a powertrax for my 8.25 and a spartan for the front. also are all dana 30's 27 spline?

yeah, 27-spline, but there are the super 30 upgrade kits. it has the 30-spline shafts that replace the stock ones, but then you have to hunt down a locker to work for that if you don't get a kit that comes with one for the 30-spline. they are kinda pricey, but some people think they are worth it. usage of the application i guess.

 

Absolutely worth their weight in gold.

Single best thing I've done to my Jeep for offroad purpose.

Lock Right in front and Auburn LS out back and I can tell you traction is totally different with all 4 tires spinning instead of 2.

Even the LS in the 8.25 stays pretty well locked at all times. Only seen it not spin when I was severely twisted up and a lot of weight was on one tire. Which probably was a good thing.

 

it's actually DetoursUSA.com. just looked that up, i like the sound of that plate as well. the piece is called the Backbone Bumper System, and is completely bolt-on. awesome looking unit!

 

yea i dont plan on extreme wheeling just for snow traction, hunting and camping trips and towing. so i dont think ill need more than the 27 spline..now i see most guys upgrade the axles shafts as well when going to a locker is this necessary?

 

not really, unless you plan on running much larger tires or had quite a few extra ponies pumping out the engine. even then replacing the u-joints to a upgraded joint increases the strength of the axles quite a bit, and defiantly don't cost as much as buying replacement shafts.

 

sounds like i should be fine 30"-31" tops..depends if i feel cut off happy when i go to look for tires...but ill be waiting a bit think im gonna splurge on the rear locker and go No-Slip..worth the extra pennies you think?i like the no ratchet idea.

 

why doesnt anyone get a spool? much cheaper and its one solid piece. nothing to break.

 

True...but not ideal for a DD rig.


A trail rig is a different story but you never want to put a spool up front. You'll have a turning radius of a full size school bus.

 

hell yes.
