chevyslayer925 has a complete front diff with 4.10's and an Aussie. I wish I could have it but things just didn't work out on my end of things. Maybe try seeing if he would ship? I don't know if he would or not.

Seems like I heard they discontinued it for some reason. Give them a call or search around for left overs...?
Side note, I don't know what you have going on with the rest of your truck, but I would absolutely get a rear locker before front.

ya i put an expo axle in with limited slip that works pretty good.....im planning on repacking the LS and putting a locker in the front.....should help in the traction department a lot....and ya ive been talking to chevyslayer but his diff has 4.10....mine have 3.73...if im going to pay to regear im not going 4.10...im going 4.88's....so that is the reason im not buying his....but that sucks if they discontinued it....what else is available for up there....?

I think lock-right makes a front locker for the D35 IFS.
Maybe part # 2311S2

Yes I paid like $230 for my aussie when I had it. Thats the main reason it was more popular than the other lockers.

I need to update this, but aussie locker isn't going to do another manufacturing run on their D35 IFS locker, and Richmond gear has discontinued the No-Slip, but still has the Lock-Right.

Torsen and Quaife have the D35 IFS limited slip differentials available.

Torsen has been saying this for years and years, so I won't believe anything I hear until I see it offered for sale.

Ordered a Torsen for my D35 today... - Ford Explorer Ranger Enthusiasts "Serious Explorations"®

Looks like he's got himself one.

Yeah. I want to lock up the front on mine but since it has the detroit in there I can't do a lunchbox locker and full carrier replacements ain't cheap.
