Trac-Loc question??
I was thinking about getting a trac-loc for my truck. I have the 7.5 rear and I was also going to try and install 4:10's in the rear for now, then also in the front later on.
My question: is the trac-loc a good one to go with? Especially if I can get one for $100?????
Any info is greately appreciated, I was trying to get it before my neighbor sells it to someone else.

one thing to say...if you regear the rear you must regear the front....

I did read that thread, but it mostly talks about other locking diff's. I was wondering if the trac-loc is worth getting and installing? I really don't go heavy off-roading, just normal off-roading (no mudholes that come up to the doors). I want it mostly for light off-road, snow use.

I plan on getting 4:10 gears for the 7.5 rear on ebay, unless someone sells them on here for a decent price. I won't be installing the rear gears until I get a set for the front.
