Gears or Locker?
i am thinking of getting a lock right locker.
but i came across these 4.56 gears from a v6(whole third member just bolt in)
the guy selling them says they will bolt into my 4 cyl diff ,is this true?
if i buy the gears i will eventually get a locker but not for a while.
my truck has a 22r-e with a cam and 35" x-terrains. i often pull a 17 foot boat. i dont need the gears for 4 wheeling but could maybe use them on the street.
locker is $375 cdn
gears are $250 cdn rear
$350 cdn front

im pretty sure no one is answering right now since you'll find all your answers if you do a search.
personally, if I had a 22re and running 35's with stock gearing, I'd regear, but if I was thinking about putting a locker in the rear, I'd save up for the locker too, then get the locker put in before I put the diff in to save money in the long run.

I would say get the locker. If you get it you'll have much better traction when 4-wheeling as opposed to a bit more "power" from the higher gear ratio in an open diff.

and to carry the motion I will also say get the lockers. 5.29s are what you want in the diffs. IMO to get 4.56 and still be open will be a waste of money. You would also need to get 4.56 gears installed in the front. Get the locker and save for new gears. that is what I would do.

4.56 isn't enough gear, you want 4.88's or better yet, 5.29's
If it is a daily driver 4.88's might be better because they won't rev as high, but 5.29's will pull harder.
locker is cool for offroad, but for towing you're gonna want a locker that you can turn off, so a 375.00 locker probably ain't gonna be the best choice.

I would say gears, but I agree I dont think the 4.56s will be enough for what you are looking for, especially towing with 35s.
try to find some 5.29s or get some smaller tires.

I think its kind of funny how this thread in general tech is solidly for gears yet the one in offroad tech is biased towards the locker...Anyway I say locker or save as the 4.56s will be a waste of money with 35s

4.56 gears with 35's are a waste.
Do you know what gears you have now? If your name is your rig, you may already have them.
If I towed a boat regularly, I would think twice about running a stock geared 4 cylinder on 35's.
Changing diff gears alone makes a very small change in wheeling. Adding t-cases is where it's at.
