Default electric locker?

Hey yall I'm looking at buying two lockers for my Jeep. I'm located in Georgia, north of Atlanta. I want to get some electic lockers but i can't seem to find some that aren't the ARB air locker. I can find an electic for the front dana 35 but not the back chyrsler 8.25? Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Blake

Why not an ARB?

Front is a 30. Look into the Eaton Elocker or ECTED. Both are electric.

I'm having no problem with my dana front. It's the back that I can't find, and ghee oh dee, I'm not a huge fan of the air locker, a whole lot easier to fix a wire vs. a airhose.

That's what I was afraid of. Powertrax makes a limited slip would that be good for the rear end?

I would say so. Depends on what your doing with the truck, though.
