I'm pretty confident in these lockers, based on that story, not to mention that I have not had any problem with mine. Can't speak for larger wheels/tires, though.
Thanks, im glad to hear that the Ruby lockers hold up well.

Hmm, prolly not. Definitely not in 4-low either. Not enough torque in 2wd, and not enough wheel speed in 4-low
