$2-300 Make sure of the spline count and also that it is the right one for your ratio. There are two. 3.93 and up and 3.72 and down

See if you can find one. If not, I know a vintage Jeep guy in OR that might have one.

can I ask why a LSD? you wont see a huge difference on the trail with a LSD. I would pop in a lunch box locker into the carrier and be done with it. the LSD's you are looking at you will need to have your gear set up again. a aussie you slap it in and you are done

alright. as long as you know that when you lift a tire the LSD is just a open diff rig. you wont see a difference on the trail

only customer plaints about the truetrac that I have heard was it sucks in a front axle application. you have to play with the gas from time to time for it to engage. besides that I say go for it.

they are a good unit thats for sure. also no clutches which is great! last i heard they were good up to a 31 or 32" tire then they have issues locking up.
