X2 but unless you're set on lockrights get an aussie or spartan. They are bigger, stronger, cheaper and the springs will last longer than a year. I've got a lockright for a D44 that has less than a year on it and the teeth are chipped off and it was set up to spec, springs wore which made it sit uneven and break.

I was told Aussie is not making them anymore due to shortened supply.... is that true? Every website I have found says out-of-stock until further notice...
But....BlueRockRash.... if you can get an aussie, I agree with xjmarc here, that would be better

Thats the same as a powertraxx right? there is nothing wrong with that, but I would not go cheap fro the rear is where i am coming from. The front is not abused as much as the rear, so that one needs to be a bit stronger and able to last longer.... If it makes you feel better though, I am looking at a very similar locker myself since I can't seem to find the aussie either

They powertrax and spartan work basically the same only difference is the powertrax is quieter. I ran aussies front and rear for years and loved them. Like stated the powertrax isn't a LSD it's a locker but uses a different type of spring so you don't hear it ratchet.

Still more than a spartan and spartan's warranty covers tires bigger than 31s, lockrights don't. That's why I have a broken one in a box in the garage, they wouldn't cover it because I told them I ran 35s. They won't warranty anything bigger than 31s even on a D60.
