Post what kind of locker do you recommend?

I plan on installing 5.13 gears very soon and since the differential cover is coming off I want to install lockers for the front and rear..My question is which locker do you suggest and why? Thanks for your replys. Bubba

I've always trusted Detroit. The Electronic option is kind of vague, because I think there are multiple options (maybe not). If I didn't have lockers in my Rubicon I would buy an electronic Detroit if there was such an option.

I say E lockers only because it's easier to wire up a couple toggle switches. Plus you won't need to worry about mounting an air compressor.

On the flip side having an onboard air compressor can come in real handy.

Either way, I'm a fan of selectable lockers.

Will there be any aftermarket locker options for Rubis down the road? I know their are 30 spline front lockers available, but what about the 32 spline rear? Or, when you upgrade to chromoly shafts, does the spline count go up?
