Default Thinking about a detroit locker in the rear of my Rubi

i trashed my rear locker. i'm thinking a detroit is the cheapest way to go untill i can put a PR in the rear.

has anyone done this?

if the rear locker is unplugged will the front still work?

Today, your only replacement options, short of re-insatlling a factory rubi locker, are 35 sp units from both ARB and Auburn. So, really, only ARB.

There is no 32 spline option available today.

i'm running a PR unlimited up front with factory locker and 5:38's. if i were to buy a complete rear axle from you, what would you suggest?

are any of my parts worth changing over? Brakes, axles, gears? i could disassemble my old rear and deliver the parts to you for the rebuild. they all are less than 5k mile parts

also can the coil spring perch's be corrected for lift?

The rear brakes would be re-used on a 60. I have questions. Please call me.

PM sent.

Great talk on the phone. Thanks so much for all your help.

Dynatrac is the best!!

So I like the idea of 60 in the front 60 in the reAr. Detroit in both and the twin stick.

That means I will be selling my pr44 unlimited front
