Traction adders - looking for advise
I am planning on adding either a locker or posi to replace my factory "continous slip". I have heard that true "lockers" such as a Detroit will break axles if you are putting heavy loads in the bed (I pull a 14,000# 5er). Other lockers have clunking noises when turning. I have looked at air lockers, electric lockers and aftermarket posi-tracs. So many choices! What are you folks running? Any advise would be appreciated before I spend a bunch of money and not be satisified with the results.

i would go with a selectable locker like an air locker or an electronic one. i know a lot of people who have off road trucks and thats what they all run. a true locker isnt very good for towing especially with a heavy trailer and a posi will wear out if you do a lot of wheel spinning and not give you the traction a locker will. the selectable lockers are more money but they are worth it
