front diffrential lockers
I have a 2006 fx4 f250 and i want to make it more off road capable.
Do any of you guys know who makes a decent locker and how much it may cost?
I have limited slip in the rear so i wont need to mess with it

do you mind giving more details as to how you use your truck or plan to use it? locking the front is a pretty dumb thing to do for a street driven truck or a work/plow truck. chances are a selectable locker is what you "want"......google it.

I was thinking more along the lines of an air locker. I mainly plan to use it for some muddy farmfields and stuff like that. But the truck is also what i use as my everyday driver.

i agree with Larry.
a friend of mine built a bronco show truck after a few years he started playing with it off road.
a front axle broke on a hill climb, and the other axle hooked him almost head-on into a tree, then rolled it down the hill around 150 ft. it rolled about 15 times, and broke almost every bone in his body.
he spent 18 months in the hospital, and was lucky because for the first 2 months he was only given a 10% chance to live.
he is now wheelchair bound, and brain damaged from the broken neck.
