Powertrax lock-rite or Noslip,
Detroit EZ Locker, not sure if they're still available.

I will definitely wait and see, I won't be picking up a lift until early next year, either a BDS 4" or RE 4.5", can't decide, but leaning toward BDS because I've heard the RE rear springs are pretty soft and sag a lot when loaded with gear or towing a pop-up or something. I will do the locker after the lift. If I do a locker will I need a new diff cover? I just picked up a Ruff Stuff cover and painted it last night, that thing is a tank, and great customer service too. Can't wait to get the 85-140 in there this weekend.

Thanks again for all of your help.

No need for a new cover.

Well it looks like I needed longer bolts for the new diff cover. I picked up some 5/16" X 1" grade five bolts, course thread. Do I need any type of lock washers or thread lock since the heads of these bolts are smaller than the original?
