regear with the same locker?
I'm planning on getting a ratcheting locker such as Detroit,spartan, and aussie. Hopefully I will have installed one by this winter. I'd like to do a regear at some point as well. I have a chrysler 8.25 rear end with 3.55 gears. Will any of those lockers still work after a regear? or would i have to get new lockers?

You can. But you'll be paying the setup labor costs twice. If you do a full case locker and a regear at the same time, you only pay the labor once.
In your situation, a lot of people will do a lunchbox locker because you just replace the spider gears. So no setup labor. Just a couple hours in your garage or driveway. Then when it's time to regear, you do a full case locker then. Or just keep the lunchbox locker.
But there is no technical reason you can't do a full case locker now, then later do a regear.
