I want to get an aussie locker for the front with manual hubs. I really want to get a rear locker too because with the open diff I am allways spinning my right rear tire on slippery or wet roads. My question is should i get an aussie locker for the rear? I don't want to shell out hundreds of dollars for an OX or E-locker or exspensive l/s. The only thing I am worried about is the driving charecteristics, especialy in the snow and ice.
What do you think?

 

Unless you have swapped in an fx4 lvlII axle or an axle from an explorer then you can't put the aussie in the rear. Your factory axle is a 28 spline and aussie only makes theirs for the 31 spline axle. You can still get a powertrax lockright or no-slip though.

 

I would highly recommend the no-slip from powertrax as it has better handling and driving characteristics than even a L/S rear on the street and will give you a true lock up because it is a locker.

 

Is this the one you are talking about?

Or the Lock-Right is also a nice unit. Not as street friendly but less parts and cheaper.

yes I have a lock-right in my truck and a no-slip in my girlfriends and the no-slip is just a better unit in every way. It may have a few more parts, but it won't break like a lock-right does because it doesn't use the small pins and springs.

and yes leadfoot, that is the no-slip.

 

personally i chose the no-slip. i got one coming in the mail.

 

lock-rite no-slip

 

I had a no-slip but never installed it because I ended up with a great deal on a selectable. From visual inspection it looked like a high quality unit.
