Ya I try not to bounce alot but sometimes it is invevitable ha ha! Like I said though I beat it pretty good and also beat my TJ. I also change my diff fluid frequently and make sure my ring and pinion are in good shape and am a bit OCD with maintenance so that can help keeping your lockers working nice.

My friend has a 4 door rubi with the front 44 and broke his axle shaft so I was laughing pretty hard cause he is always telling me my 30 is week and will break and it was worthless putting a locker in it even though he has wheeled with me for 10 years and my tj had a 30 front with a locker and never broke anything.

Thanks, I am figuring I might do a front Eaton E Locker eventually if I feel I need that extra edge wheeling, but I am not sure if I really want to lock my D30. I hope the detroit does the trick. I plan on going to 37's after my 35's die in a year so hopefully 5.13s and an auto is OK.
