ok this is probably stupid but i'm looking to get some lock rights for my 90 4x4 pickup. its stock as far as the axel goes so what axel do i have. ive been looking at ordering some but i don't know which one to buy. i don't know if its the 7.5", 8", etc.

 

front or rear front 7.6 rear 8

 

Rear - 8":

front is the 7.5in IFS diff....the rear is the 8in

 

its 7.5 in front and a true 8inch in back

 

If youre getting a lunchbox locker for the back, which is an 8", there are two kinds, the V6 diff or the 4cyl diff. The V6 is a 4 pinion, the 4 cyl is a 2 pinion.

 

thanks guys

 

Can I just buy the lock right for the rear or do I have to buy some other stuff with it?

 

you can buy just the lockright and put it in.. you will need some rear diff lube though and some silicone or a rear diff gasket.

 

k...i appreciate the help

 

no problem...

 

As for traction aids i would run a detroit locker in the rear and in the front run a detroit truetrac limited slip

 

Detroit full locker in the rear, don't waste money on the limited slip. Leave it open or get a real locker.

 

Hey if you already found the locker you'r planning on buying how much are you paying. I'm wanting to get lockers in my yota which is also a 90 and is a 22re and I'm trying to find out how much i need to save up for.
