2002 E150: Towing locker recommendations?

I'm planning on doing some towing with a 2002 E150, V8 5.4 + factory hitch etc., and thinking that having a third-party locker installed could avoid some wheespin problems on the loose dirt and gravel of a campground -- I'll be towing about 5,500lb, and the max allowable is 6,800lb.

Now, I remember seeing a website a while ago that compared-and-contrasted various lockers for different purposes -- towing, off-roading etc. -- but it didn't go into details on why particular lockers were good for different purposes.

Does anyone have any experiences or tech knowledge to share on this topic?

Dave,


Check out www.4wheelparts.com The have full service stores / shops all over the U.S. They installed an automatic locker in my 1999 Suburban (engages as it senses wheel spin) and they installed an electronic locker in my 04 Toyota Double Cab. Thenot only sell the major brand names but install and warranty them. good luck
