locker's

I am looking at getting a locker for my 94 yota truck. But i have a couple questions:

1. What, in ya'lls opinions, is the best "bang for my buck" (sorry for the cliche)

2. How do i find out which one will install correctly in my rear diff?

Bang for the buck IMO would be: Welded-Spool-LunchBoxLocker-Detroit-ARB in that order. Plus and minuses to all of them, just do your homework.

The company selling you the gears will be able to tell you exactly what you need.

Is your truck a daily driver or a straight trail rig?
