Default long arms or rear locker.

So I'm going from RC 4.5 coils, to any 5.5 coils I can get my hands on. Debating on either getting long arms or locking the rear with a selectable locker. I know taxes will allow for one upgrade, not sure yet on two. I hope both! What do you guys think? Thanks for the input!

The front is already locked, so basically you are telling me to hurry up with the back!

I found a D44 w/ disc con, 4:56 gears, chromoloy axles(+ 1 spare), w/ a Yukon full spool. Is the full spool always locked, if so hows that on the road? Would love to get the complete axle since its the same price as a locker(electric), then I'll just sell my D44. Can always sell the Yukon and my D44 to pay for an electric locker... I just dont read much on the Yukon on here.

Long Arms.

You'll be amazed at what you can do with all four wheels firmly planted on the ground.

I also agree. He already has a locker in the front.

You see, that's what I was thinking! I keep up with everyone else the way I am now, I would like more articulation though. But then again I would like to be done with the axles, which only leaves the rear.

And all wheels touching equals traction, right. Making arms the sensible choice fit now...
