getting ready to buy a locker or 2.
who would recomend locking the front or the rear or both on a mudder/ daily driver?

Also what brand locker you prefer?

I've got the dana 30 front and chrysler 8.25 rear setup. I went with an aussie locker up front, the rear is factory limited slip and very tight. The rear tires will skid like a locked differential on wet pavement. This is a great combination for me, I really like it.

you get them from any performance parts company just about... make sure you get the right one you have a 29spline axle 8.25 NOT the 27 spline

I went with Aussie. Not quiet but does the job. I'd lock the rear first.

For locking the front or rear first everyone has their opinion about it for which is better. Also selectable locker had a lot to do with it. When lock the front it pulls your vehicle as to pushing it if do the rear first. I locked the rear fist because of the wheeling I do. Haven't needed to do the front yet

Gee oh Dee

My rear is locked, I want both locked though. The rear is selectable, the front will be as well.

The rear locker sure is fun in the snow.

locked front and rear. I was just locked in the rear with an auto, loved it. If you are going selectable put it up front, put a auto locker in the rear. or do both selectable....

I have LB lockers front and rear. love them, but on the slick rock we do here its a pain to turn, but Hydraulic assist and a LB is still cheaper then a selectable lol

I did the opposite of what everyone told me and I put an Aussie locker in the front first. The rear end on mine needs to be rebuilt so a rear locker will be going in sooner than later.

Yeah it is fun in snow
