Default It depends on what you have...

I may need to swap to a 9.75 axle assembly, in which case I'm leaning to the ARB Air Locker.

Go big or go home.

The website gives the codes to determine which one you have, and go from there. If you really want Limited Slip, there are a million of them in junk yards cheap. Just check that the brakes are dry and look for shavings in the diff fluid before you buy.

I have the 6" arm and it feels the right length for me. Love my Ram mount!

I just bought a pair in N6 Lightning Blue. They match perfectly and seem to have plenty of shine.

Can you share a link? I like that emblem. Think it would look sharp on my shadow black.

@Toolferone Did you use the X-grip? I am trying to figure out if it would hold my BDX, which is about twice as thick as most smart phones. Thanks for any opiinion you have or this!

Thanks again for your replies. In my enthusiasm for the prospect of something finally! for the 8.8 Super axle, I may sound like a no0b. I am not. I know what axle I have. I've installed center sections in 8" and 9" Ford housings in the past. I know what to look for regarding wear and tear and I would most certainly be keeping my truck's existing brakes hardware. I definitely do not want a LS. Thanks again!

I didn't mean to insult. I AM a noob, and was just passing on what he said to me. I guess he "man-splained" it to me, and that conveyed in my post. He also said to search the site, as they have a number of other units that you might like, but you have probably already done that.

I'm shutting up, and backing away now. Maybe Corey will join the forum. He's really into this stuff, and would probably enjoy it here.

I'd really like to talk to him on the phone to ask him specific driveability questions.

You don't have to bail! and, again, I do sincerely appreciate your continued replies and help. Thank you.
