It was me that said I have killed a couple of Detroit lockers but that was in the rear diff, I have never had any problems with the front DL, and the one's that did go bad were replaced on warranty. I am extremely hard on my truck in the winter, deep wet snow can and will find any weak part and kill it fast. ARB are very nice parts and would be the best for a more DD over the DL.

I'd love to do ARBs, but theyre ove $1000 an axle
and I have 3.55s I guess thats what you were talking about hey you.
Also I dont know what axle I have in the rear, Yukon site said non circular (don't know what shape) diff cover meant 9.25 (I think, I know it was 9something) but ARB site says I have 8.25

You are Welcome.
You can always put the new gears in the front to match the back without installing a new front Dl or some type of locker in the front, then when you can afford the locker for the front then just switch the gears to the new Dl or locker when you get one. That way you can still use 4x4.

I found for the cost to go to Dana 60-80 diff's with all the goodys that I would run the cost was about $3500 to me this was just not worth it. Instead I am going to uni-mog portal diff's, they cost about $2500 each used with factory air lockers, they add 4" of lift and ground clearance, not cheap by any means but I think they are a much better investment than Dana's. The rear diff is ready for me to pick up and the front diff will be ready in May, if all goes well they will be installed in the fall. Might not be under the black truck but a 2nd gen none the less.

Are those axles set up to just bolt underneath your truck or do you have to a lot of work to get them to fit, I think they are about the wildest set up I've ever seen and I see almost no drawbacks to them

Edit: This is going to be a long project I figure about a year before all is said and done, The truck they are going under is a 96 rc/sb 2nd gen, Keep your eye's open on what motor will be going in it.
Hint BBM Hemi,203/205 double down t case set-up
