what kind of locker? clutch type or detroit? or maybe a limited slip.... I asked these questions once too.
The difference can depend on how aggressive the locker is. It will be a bit harder to take tight turns, your tires will chirp every once in a while, and your truck will handle different, which you'll probably get used to.

I just installed the same one back in July. Running 36's with no problems so far. I doubt it will hold up to a built motor. If you have future plans for big tires and big HP you better find a 10.25 and lock that.

I'd stay away from the lunch box lockers if you plan do anything aggressive with the truck. I've got 2 that I destroyed sitting in the garage just as a reminder. If you want to go cheap, find yourself a factory LS and put in the FMS Carbon clutch kit. It's been holding up to my 38.5 boggers in mud bogs/drags for the last few years with no problems. If it's a little more strength and you don't mind the wander feel around corners, spend the money on a Detroit gear setup, or go really big money and get an ARB or Eaton E-locker then just turn it on when you need it.

I don't think they make that kit for the 10.25 or 10.50. The carbon kit for the 8.8 is what comes factory in the Cobra Mustang.

Kris, you hear this? I don't think he realizes how much we drink. You got any pics of the aftermath in your shop of the last time I came down to play in the mud?
