Thinking about lockers

Any ideas as to which one is better...i can not afford the selectable ones like ARB or E-lockers. Was thinking about the EZ-locker by detriot, I think I can install it myself, or is that to much trouble.

Thinking about lockers

If you're thinking about doing it yourself you must be careful to set up the lash properly, to ensure that you don't wear out your ring or pinion gears. sometimes it's easier to take it to a professional to set it up correctly, but that said, finding someone reputable is of course one of the hardest things to do!

You may also need new bearings, seals, axles etc, depending on how much abuse the diff has been given.

In regards to the "cheaper" lockers, I havent heard to many bad reports about anything detroit make.
Have fun!
