Yes RC makes a decent kit. And for selectable the best are ARB, OX Locker, and the Ected E-Locker but they're all gonna cost you your left nut.

ive got the 4.5 inch xseries kit with control arm drop brackets. angles are the same with better ground clearance. but the look of a long arm is so badazz that its totally worth it.

the Lift is great...i have had mine installed for about a month or so......well worth the $$ i went with 35's
Flex is great first time out i tore all my fender flares off.....(expected) But i am also running 35's
I am saving my pennys for a Aussie Locker for the D30.
First time out i got stuck bad and had a 150$ recovery bill
Second time out i dented my rear hatch and blew out my rear window........
I should have skipped the BS and put a locker in the front from day one.

The Eaton E-Locker is a true locker that works with the push of a button to lock the axles together.
Don't confuse the two.

I like my Detroit lockers 
They never fail me. Even when going around a sharp turn on the pavement my inside tire always barks lol

The Auborn ECTED is not a locker. It's an LSD with additional force applied to the clutch packs via an electromagnet. IT DOES NOT MECHANICALLY LOCK THE AXLE SHAFTS TOGETHER.
The Eaton E-Locker is a true locker that works with the push of a button to lock the axles together. And acts as a limited slip when not engaged.

^sounds about right 
and i believe on the Detroit lockers it's applied mechanically under pressure (acceleration)
