Yes. Searching this question will give you way more information than what anyone will disclose in response to your first post.

I run it, few broken axle shafts but that's about it.

That's a pretty common set up, so I don't see why not.

I run d30 with aussie front locker and 33s also my daily driver. I've snapped only one shaft, you can beat on them pretty hard but don't sit there trying to rock bounce everything

are those lockers electric/air or just lunchbox?

Lunchbox

Aussie/Lokka/Spartan/Richmond = lunchbox auto lockers.

thats good to know, i am as well looking to LOCK out my axles sometime soon, hopefully before the end of summer

Thats good to know, im not too worried about a broken axle shaft every once in a while but I am worried about blowing up the ring and pinion. I might do chromolys for extra strength and since the axle shafts are a little lighter I think. I am still debating on a full time locker. My plan is to truss or sleeve it or do both. Whats a good gear ratio for a cherokee with 33s?

I'm a huge fan of Eaton Elockers, not just because I sell them.

I ran them in my last XJ (D44's front and rear) and will put one in my full width HP D60 as well.

If you have the money to go selectable, Eaton Elocker is the best way to go imo

I have the HPD30/Chy 8.25 4.56 gear running 33's and 35x12:50 (2 sets) and using Detroit Lockers (auto lockers) high quality full carrier. In 2 yrs. I have yet to break a stock axle (I do carry spares) but I'm not one to abuse the skinny peddle either.
