How much did you pay for your lockers and compressors?

i just got some prices today. lockers go for $650, the air compressor $220. you're lucky you got such a good deal. i'm doing it the non-deal way

the problem that comes up with arb air lockers seems to be leaks. but i hear if you have the install done right and keep up with regular maintenance, you should be good.

That's good to know... For some reason, I was thinking that the Locker + compressor was $650. That is a sweet deal at $500...

The only leak I've seen is the plastic air line for the front locker. It gets jambed against the oil pan and kinks and then leaks after a while. I installed and bent the ferule thing-a-ma-bob inside the tubing and haven't had it happen yet a secind time. Iif you get the heavy duty SS air line you should have that problem. If you use the plastic stuff, make sure you reinforce it where it rubs on sharp edges and keep it away from hot stuff.

Two CV's in front.

No issues in the rear.

I don't think there are many issues in the rear since that usually comes with uber wheeling. Likely not an issue.

What happened with the cv's? Did you have a lot of angle on them? Were they stuffed or drooped when they broke?
