Regear/Locker Upgrade
Back in a Jeep for the first time in 8 years. I have a 2012 JK Sport with 3.21 gears and 35's. Looking to move to 4.88 and add lockers. Any particular brands to focus on or stay away from?

Welcome to JKF.. We recently upped ours to 4.10s .. Yukon Gear.. Yukon Duragrip LSD.. BTW you will need a new Carrier for the front to go up from 3.21. Over the years of being on Forum have not read of any brand to avoid. Key factor in choice of Yukon $$. The "Gold Standard" would be Dana. Good luck in your decision.

Are you looking for Selectable, Automatic, or Limited?
My preferences are all from Eaton: E-locker, Detroit Locker, and Detroit Truetrac. Which would be best just depends on the usage/budget/etc,

Yup, not much has changed in the last 8 years. Your selectable options are really still Eaton e-lockers or ARB air lockers and those Detroit TrueTracs are still great LSD options. If you've been down this road in the past I'm sure you're familiar with most the negative commentary about locking a D30.
