Rear Locker

[Papa Geno]

Hey guys.

Ok so I need some opinions.

My rear end is a Ford 8.8. Its 31 splines, and has Limited Slip.

Within a month, im getting a locker.

I need some opinions..

I can have a full case Detroit installed for 630, or an ARB Locker installed for 850 but then I need a Compressor.

Thing is, I am eventually get a Selectable for my D30, so that means if I do ARB now, I can get an ARB for the front also, and have a sick locking setup.

I dont want OX.

go with the detroit, it's butter smooth

as far as I know youll probably HAVE to go with a detroit as ive read you have to replace the carrier on an 8.8 with limited slip to put in a locker.

You really think its smooth? Everyone is telling me it bangs and unloads and makes a TON of noise.

I should have mentioned that. If I was to get an Aussie, I need to get a stock carrier anyways, so no matter what Greg at Banditt Offroad is going to be resetting the gears.

So im thinking about good full case lockers like

Detroit
Eaton E-Locker
ARB
Banditt wont install OX, because sam brought him the wrong shit so it pissed him off so he wont put them in.

thats any locker pretty much

get a spool and you wont have any noise

youll just have to go straight, and only straight.

out of all of those I would get an ARB, but thats kinda like saying I would choose a mercedes over a honda

if you dont got the money for the arb or dont want to deal with the compressor shit, get the detroit and an ox in front (yes I know you said you dont want ox)

[Papa Geno]

Money isnt really an issue.

I am goign to be getting a front before winter anyways, thats why I was thinking doing ARB on both axles.

The Eaton E-Locker looks good too though..

Anyone hear anything abotu them?

I cant find anything bad about them.

a friend of mine has an 8.8 with a full detroit and it's great which is why I thin kyou should go for one. I have 60's now and have full detroits for them because I like them so much. Get a full case one not a lunch box junker.

detroit/arb/ox/etc are all full case lockers which mean they replace the existing carrier.

and my detroit is mad nice.

fuck spool weld it up and it will be silent until you go around a corner in a freshly paved parking lot and hear the tires squeeling

[KtmRacer419]

kinda difficult to weld clutch packs together.

my tires dont squeal around corners either

a spool is cheap enough to just buy and do it right

[HeavyMetal]

dont spool your dd. just dont do it. sure it has the 'best' driving characteristics, as in no noises or unloading or anything, but it still drags/chirps tires around turns, and take it from me.....i ran a spool for 6 months on road, it kils your tires pretttttty quick. not worth it at all
