Lunchbox locker install?

Can anyone confirm if you need to remove the carrier with 3:73 gears? Wanting to install in front axle, but don’t want to remove axles, carrier.

Having used and broken these in much lighter trucks I would recommend an ARB or selectable up front.
On any wet side hill you will be jumping in and out to unlock or lock the hubs as the front will be sliding down hill. And on high traction surfaces you need to get and unlock to turn some corners.
Been there done that.

I’ve used them in my jeeps with great success? Never broke anything? I do more research.

The Dana 60 is a stout axle with a large carrier I have seen them with lunchbox lockers hold up fine with 40" tires. You will be fine with one in the front. I am not sure if you will have to pull the carrier or not, I know you do on Dana 30 and Dana 44s.

I thought I installed mine on my old Dana 30 with 4:10 gear with carrier installed? But it’s been over 10yrs.


It would make a easy install if I could leave the carrier in,, pulling the axles on a 60 isn’t that fun.

You have to slide the axles out even if you don't have to pull the carrier.
