Locking Hubs?
Looking for opinions and advice. Is there any advantage to convert my autolocking hubs to manual locking hubs. Will this improve gas mileage? Is it worth the cost? Thanks.

I would agree, in most cases a full axle swap to a bigger axle with locking hubs is cheaper or the same price...
800$ now, or over a 10 year span of driving it? I would just pay it over time, who says your going to have it that long anyway...

Thanks for all the input. I think I'll leave them as they are and put my money into a header and better exhaust system.
