A locked rear end under load...it tended to drag the rear under dd conditions. I really needed an open rear end with the amount for suspension cycle/movement the XJ has under load. Now with the ARB the drivability feels like a totally different XJ. Much more road friendly when we chose not to tow her..under load she feels much more powerful, predictable and consistent. Not to say that the Detroit didn't work great, it worked fantastic off-road! Also, the mpg's went up approximately 2.7mpg's

I know you have over 2k in just lights. Over 3k in axles. Id say 1200 on the tires.
