if you already have the elocker rear then dont worry about it unless you really want to lock the front.

it's an auto so IIRC you should probably go with 5.29's. Like I said, you may want to look that up on here to double check. Oh, and x2 on the locker/lsd in the rear...

yes front lockers make a difference, I dont know if i would go as far as saying as much as rear locker tho... i am locked in the front of both my rigs but havent used it on the baby runner and the few times i've used it on my big runner i was afraid of breaking birfs... they are useful in snow wheelin

Marlin doesn't make gears they sell gears.....

Call East Coast Gear Supply and talk to Chase, say your from yotatech...

They don't make 5.13's for toyotas, I'd go with 5.29's

If you put a locker up front, get a selectable (like your elocker or an ARB)
If you are gonna do it, might as well do it now, bigger initial cost but cheaper in the long run in both time and $$$--only one tear down....

As mentioned-5.29's...they will put your truck back into a useable RPM especially on a DD.
