The trip up the mountain the other day got me thinking about lockers. Just wondering what other guys here have that's worked well for them.

BTW, what kind of axles do we have in our 1500s?

 

Dana 44 in the front, Chrysler 9.25 in the rear.

 

Cool, thanks

 

If you can afford it, Detroit..

I've used a Lock-Right, No-Slip and Aussie Lockers. My favorite being the Aussies, nothing for the 9.25 but they make one for the D44. Lock-right was OK, not a fan of the No-Slip in my truck or my buddies Ranger. Have a wheeling buddy that just lost a Lock-Right in the front of his rig last wheelin' trip, to be fair he was the 3rd owner, he replaced it with an Aussie. My buddy with the Ranger went with a Detroit when he upgraded axles and he likes it, I haven't driven it so I can't comment.

 

Spendy buggers...

The TrueTrac is a limited slip and won't give you locker performance.

 

Detroit full locker in the rear. Almost never have to enable 4 wheel. It now comes as the soft locker, not as loud or jerky as the old style. When you apply torque, it locks, when take your foot off the petal, it opens. Only consider a front locker if you ditch the auto hubs, otherwise you will chew through them pretty quick.

 

unless you go off-roading regularly, a limited slip will do you just fine

 

I find limited slips to be about useless in off-road situations. It doesn't matter how often it goes off road, if you want off-road performance that's worth a damn, you need a locker or 2.

 

not sure what you've dealt w/ but the only LS setups ive had personal experience with are Ford's Fx4 LS which works really well
