did you already install your truetrac and not like it? or are you thinking you just want to skip that and get a locker?

Nolan,
im skipping the true-trac, after getting hung up this weekend, with one tire in the air, i realized that maybe a locker wouldnt be such a bad idea. gonna cost a pretty penny tho, so im using my money from my supercharger. here is what it looked like

sup casey, how come unitrax wont do it? they were originally gonna do mine but they had a long waiting list so i said forget it. i got mine done at 4wheel parts in santa ana. they were the cheapest and did a good job. i also heard drivetraindirect does a really good job but theyre pretty expensive. also you might want to check out hicks4x4 they were the cheapest. something like 225 for gears and locker install, 125 if its out of the truck.

Andy,
unitrax says they dont do ARB air lockers. drivetrain direct is a bit pricey, but i have also heard great things from them as well. its good to hear u got a job well done by 4 wheel parts, i wont do any business with them because they tried to put the 7.5" IFS gears in my diff so im pretty hesitant to get any work done by them.
