I would like to have a locker but I have the 27 spline 8.25 and I want Aussie locker.So I might just wait on a locker Idk

 

yeah that would be the best thing to do

 

I'm not going to be going anywher extreme anyways open should work for now

 

yeah i mean save your money and do it right, shortcuts work sometimes...but not all the time

 

You'd be surprised how far good driving with open diffs will get you!!

 

Yea I know right I went through more than my frends z71 with lsd went lol I wouldnt even be spinning

 

Ya I have an S-10 with a SBC the previous owner welded the spiders and when the welds went it destroyed everything and took chunks out of the ring and pinion. Once that broke I destroyed the front IFS trying to drive it onto a trailer and broke it so I swapped in a Dana 30. No more IFS

 

I would def. go with the locker, I've been stranded with broken spiders. They dont hold up

 

i dont have a d30 but i romp on my cherokee with welded front spiders!! never broke a thing.

weld the spiders together and then weld the spiders to the carrier. works much like a spool with the cost being free. show me a cheaper locker and i will swap it in!!

just bustin some *****...dd, i wouldnt do it unless you have selectable hubs (if you have selectable hubs on a d30, the price of a locker shoulnt be a concern!) front locker can get scarry on the road!!
