Lockers
I have a 2 door x. d44 4:1 back and d35 4:1 front. What should I do. Solid locker in the back and soft locker in the front. Not to sure on the types. aussie back and arb front.what do you have? Thanks



I'm a strong advocate of a selectable locker up front. Having the ability to unlock" takes a lot of stress of of steering components and the frame. So I'd go with ARB or a electric locker up front.
In the rear, a selectable would also be my first choice. After that a detroit soft locker is a good solid choice ( though with short wheel base it can get intersting on a slippery road).
If you just don't have the funds then an Aussie or lock rite or one of the other "lunch box" lockers are a good choice if you stay with smaller tires.
I used to run my early bronco a lot of places with just a lock rite in back and a good set of tires. with the traction control in the JK and a locker in back you would do even better.
Personally, I'm planning on the e-locker in back and nothing up front. I think that will be plenty for a long time. I like the idea of the e-locker cause its a factory item and I won't have to fight about warranty voiding.
