Detroit Soft Locker? Pro's Con's?
Getting ready(08 JKU) to go to 5.13 gears, couldn't find a Rubi rear diff assembly 
so I'm thinking of going with a Detroit Soft Locker in the rear 
Front will be the Rubi Dana44 w/factory E-locker. Anybody using the Detroit Soft Locker? Pro's Con's? 
Thanks in advance

The rubi e-locker won't work in your non-rubi housing. Not without some custom work, anyway.
Not specific to your question, but there is some good info here if you haven't read this one already.
