in my book...lockright = aussie = e-z locker = no-slip. All are very similar to eachother, but the no-slip being the most differnet of them all.

Isn't the no slip the only one that requires a L/S housing, versus all the others requiring an open housing?

review of the lock-right by a member a few days after having it installed...

the no-slip fits into an open carrier.

They make a no-slip to fit an open and a L/S carrier, the part number is slightly different and the one for the L/S is a few dollars more. They also make them for 28 and 31 splines depending on your axle.

I ran a No Slip for about 2 years, never had any problems. Can get a LITTLE weird in the snow, but I had no probs even in upstate NY. Drive carfully and you'll never know it's there.

I also blew a shaft and carrier when I had it, only thing broken from the No-Slip was a spring....15 bucks later it was good as new. Strong little things...
