If you pull the carrier scrap the lunch box idea and get new unit whether it's a true locker or a helical style limited slip like a trutrac that has no clutches to wear out. If if want to keep the factory stuff, restack the clutches so it alternates friction and steel rather than how the factory does it. It will grip harder. Some will argue there's less engagement of the steels on the axle that way but I have never heard of it failing.
Thanks man....that was a really good response
