Do I need to Install Lockers?
WOW!! The guy probably hasnt been back to see his responses...he prob feels really small and stupid. Any who..yeah I am happy with everything ...lockers woulda been nice, even better if I had them and just figured it out! LOL!
If he is Going to change his gearing would that not require a locker change due to the difference in size. And the rubi should allready have 4.10's and a 4 to 1 transfer case you should be ok what size tires are you going to
wha...
just as an FYI for anyone that doesn't know... its the gears that need changing when going bigger on tires. the gears bolt onto the lockers which is part of the differential. a locker is a locker. yes, some are built tuffer then others, but just because you go with bigger tires, doesnt mean you have to change it out.yeah... you said it best...
I guess I should have said the size of the gear I know from pricing and trying to order lockers that the size of the gear changes the locker you are buying because it is to big or to small to bolt to the ring. unless I read it wrong?
only two things change that will change the size of the locker. A)the axle its going in, and B)the spline count. now the axle its meant for will change it much more then the spline count. the gears are also made for that particular axle size. so if you are doing a D60, get a locker built for a D60 and gear sets for a D60 sized locker. if you get gears meant for a D44 locker, they'll be too small. But i gotta ask, why are you installing lockers when you already have them?



Okay, now I'm depressed. Might as well do something to cheer myself up like go to work so I can afford to put a front locker and a 4:1 transfer case in some day.
