Exclamation Lock the rear or lsd?

When I do my gears should I just live with a lsd or lock it out?

lock it if you have the money man. what kind of question is that?

lsd is good for shallow mud and slippery roads (snow). if you want to get into the deep stuff or take another trip to Rausch Creek then you will want a locker.

look at that, i have 100% of the vote.

I agree, lock it if you have the money! If not, at least rebuild the LSD while you have it all apart.

True, but you need an open carrier for the "lunchbox" lockers... they won't fit right in the LSD carrier.

I hooked a guy up with a site for front and rear gear with 2 install kits for 570 and for an extra 60 you can get rear yukon.
