I was wondering the same thing about the OX locker. I know 2 ppl who are running them, and while they ;ike them, they have both had issues with the cable shifter coming loose on the shift fork. Chad ended up buying an air actuator for his.. not sure what jason did.

The only reason why I say this.. is now you have the choice of the ARB or the E-Lected lockers.

I am going with the ox locker becuase buddy of mine has ran one iwth no issues. I bought a guys axle set up, and the ox, detroit, 4.88s and chromoly were all included. Thats the biggest reason of all. My buddy has had no issue with his ox after he got the cable properly adjusted. As far a lift it will be between 6" maybe a touch more when all done. Have to make room for the 36" Iroks.

Yeah it turned out a little taller than expected. But the IROKS are on with no trimming. I think it will settle a little after I start driving it. Started on the front today should be able to get pics on tonight.

hey the jack stand is in front of the tire making sure it does not slide away.

I would not get under that thing until you add some other stands, just friendly advice.
