Price range? Can you set-up gears? Lunchbox is usually a good choice.

For the chrysler 8.25 you only have a couple choices, Aussie powertrax no-slip I believe.

Your telling that to the absolute BIGGEST ARB ***** there is here.

I've got an ARB in my D44 rear. I'm just too cheap to get one for the front, even though my compressor and everything is already setup to run the forward line.

Lately, though, I've been finding I NEED it more than not, esp selectable. So it'll happen...once I'm done *****ing about it. Which'll take awhile.

I just ordered a Aussie for my 8.25, I know lots of people rocking them front and rear and they love them. Can't wait to get mine.

If I were just locking one end i would do the front you wont know its there really, especially in a rig that is mostly street driven,but off road it will greatly increase performance.I locked the rear first it was ok but when i did the front it was night and day
