Easy install with basic tools and knowledge
Do you have a brand you would recommend? What online store can I find it at?

It will just click some under normal driving conditions.

In 4wd you will lose a little turning radius under throttle

I don't recommend welding the front for a dd

Quote: it sure dont hurt lol but still keep an eye out for a 8.25 and youll have to take the rear driveshaft with you as well and make sure the rear axle and front axles have the same gear ratio,or youll break parts
Man this is getting deep! You know my next question. How do I know what gear ratio mine has and what a used one has if I found one?

Use Google and type in Dana 30 locker, most all lunchbox lockers are pretty much the same

Cheaper yes, but will cause tire noise and ruff ride on the street

i have a STOCK dana 35 with a detroit locker and im running 35 inch tires, (stock shafts actually) and re geared to 456s.

i killed the dana 30 first.

im selling my dana 35 only because im going to 37 military tires otherwise if i kept my 35s id keep the dana 35.

the cool thing is you can get spare parts just in case from you dana 35 haters for next to nothing

Try turning on the street with a welded front. Tire will screetch and bind.

That's what I mean by riding rough, not suspension wise.

Ahh. I missed the welded front part also. Welded rear is fine but unless you have UN locking hubs I personally wouldn't weld it. An Aussie locker isn't too expensive even if you have to save up
