Default Gear/locker question!?!?

I am looking at buying a rear locker. I have 3.21 gears and do not plan on changing anytime soon. Do i need a 3.73 numerically lower or higher locker???

You need a locker that matches your gear ratio. If you have 3.21s you need a numerically lower locker.

What size tires are you running. Do your self a favor and re gear at the same time if you are running larger tires. I did and its awesome.

x2 do your drivetrain a favor and properly regear for your tire size. Especially since you're half way there pulling the diff apart.
