rear locker

I have the stealing 10.25" open rear currently. I was looking for some jeep lockers and ran across one that i think would work in my truck. Its a Lockright locker for a Sterling 12 bolt. Is that the proper one for me?? Im dead tired of a open rear end. Heres the link for where i found it. Is for $376 plus shipping. Good or bad deal?

Personally even though it will cost a bit more I would get the ARB air locker kit for it but that's not a bad price

The price is right for sure. They usually run ~400$
Just be dead sure you have an open case, not a Trac-Lok with a stripped clutch pack. The lock-right won't fit in the Trac-Lok case.

I just bought a lock-right for my D60 front; I did a lot of research and determined they are quite decent unless you get into quite a bit larger tires or extreme wheeling.
They are mechanically the same system as a Detroit (which I have for my Sterling rear) at half the price.

I dont think the trac lok ever came in my model truck. Im probably going to wait till summer for the install since Im currently at college and want some new axles for my Jeep Cherokee. Off topic but I got myself a DD for vermont weather. Building it to a reliable off roader that isnt extreme.

Trac locs were available. If the axle code on the door tag starts with a letter, rather than 2 numbers, it had one factory.

Gotta love Vermont(gonna move there someday, lots of family up there, and history), and grand Cherokee's, we have two here at home, and aslong as it isn't the awd model it does great. I was thinking of lockers myself for my dads truck or my idi.
