thanks BC . . . . i love the lockers . . . its amazing the difference you see just by getting rid of a little slop in the axles . . . . they are well worth the $45 for both. they also come in two flavors, steel and aluminum with large or standard hardware, for a total of 4 combo's, get the standard if you dont want to mod your ring gear.

I think im gonna grab a pair just not sure if i should go steel or aluminum. Is the only difference weight? I wouldnt mind a lighter setup but dont want to sacrifice durability.

Thanks everyone for all the kind words. . . . I love this thing. And im also going to be getting a redesigned steering to eliminate the goofy rod ends from axial as well as a custom.built front upper shock mount/bumper brace.

Bc. . . . yeah the main difference is weight but like I said you can option different hardware as well. Either bigger hardware for strength which requires drilling your ring gear or the standard hardware for plug and play ease of installation
