Default 4.11 and a locker

Ok so heres the deal im stepping up to 33s. I want to run 4.11s and some sort of locker. I want to run and air locker but leaning towards a electronic locker. What are my options and what do you think the install and labor cost would be. 2wd 4.6

thanks for anyone's help

Install of an air locker is probably going to be more expensive especially since you're going to need an on board compressor or supply of compressed air.

I tend to lean towards E-lockers simply because there is no need for extra hardware besides a run of wire to your battery and a switch.

That way as long as you have a running truck, you have lockers. If you run out of air, or the compressor malfunctions and you're deep in it somewhere, you might be stuck even though you have a running vehicle...

lockers are pretty much 'get what you pay for' so buy the most expensive one you can afford
