Differential locker??
I've seen some lockers for kinda cheap in amazon, but how do I know if they fit my 95 cherokee XJ?? I have 5 inch lift on the front and 4 inches in the rear. 2010 rubicon wheels with 265/70/17's.. I just want to know wich ones will fit my jeep.. I don't beat my cherokee too much , but i do go offroading almost every weekend. Can somebody give me a few ideas??

You almost certainly have a dana 30 in the front and either a dana 35 or 27 spline c8.25 in the rear. I would not put a locker on a dana 35. A "lunchbox" style locker can be had for about $300 each.

Your 1995 XJ has a D30 High pinion front axle and either a D35 or Chrysler 8.25 (27 spline) in the rear. The easiest way to ID the rear is, if it has a big fat lip on the bottom it an 8.25, if no lip D35. If you have an automatic trans you have 3.55 gears and if manual 3.07. IF you have a 242 Transfer case. You might want to avoid an Autolocker, in front, because that will negate the 4FT position. You will no longer be able to uses the 4wd on pavement.

As with a majority of things you get what you pay for and lockers fall into that statement easy.
You might want to study about lockers more here from past postings and threads lots of helpful info for a new buyer.

If I had the money I would do a detriot true trac limited slip in the front and a OX selectable in the back. But that would run about $1500 in parts.
