Ok heres the deal, Getting new 4.88 gears installed very soon & this would be the time to install Lockers to save on Labor especially the front. I thought i was gonna do Eaton E-Lockers front & Rear after researching found they don't make it for my 9.75" Axle. Whats the best choice for my Rear?
Detroit Locker Diff., Truetrac Diff... i want to stay away from a compressor style all opinions will be very appreciated. I just dont know & all the threads I've read have weaved them selfs together in my head.
I decided to build my FX4 as a Fun truck, was gonna buy a mud truck but still like a usable truck. when I'm done with it i want to be able to get through some nasty mud hopefully without submerging the interior. Im starting my build from bottom up. Ending with 8" BDS Lift, King Coilovers & 37/38" mud tires.

Got pushed into my build sooner then expected because my Transfer case started spewing tranny fluid out of the breather tube! Need a new seal between the two so i figure while your under there...

 

ARB...but they have air lockers

 

 

detroit locker, always works and no compressors or lines

 

Do you have any experience with D. Locker on f150 I still want to have a safe ride on the road for the kids. That's why I wanted ELocker but maybe Truetrac would be better? I know I could go with Arb. Really didn't want to go that way.

 

Avoid a non selectable locker if you want safety. I know you want to avoid compressor style but the reviews on ARB are hard to beat. Another option to check is OX don't know if they make a locker for the 9.75 but it is still selectable.

 

As a person that has had a Detroit lockers is my last three vehicles. I love it! With the weight and wheel base of our trucks it is hardly noticeable. But, I will say I live in Florida th no snow..so I can not give you any details there. Fyi, I also have an E locker in the front when I need all tires 100%
