Lock right reviews and opinions?
So Ive decided that its cheaper for me to get a lunchbox locker such as the lock right rather than replacing my spider gears. So first off I have a limited slip carrier so my options are limited. let me know what you guys think and why. Thanks

I think the "no-slip" Is the only drop in locker for the ls carrier and for that price might are well go with a full replacement. I swapped in an open carrier and an aussie locker then sold my ls carrier. If you need someone to do the gears for you just pony up for a full replacement. The price of a new open case and locker is very close.

Im worried that there may be unseen damage to the carrier. I really want to run a detroit full locker but theyre about $750 for our trucks. To me I dont care if it chirps the tires or pulls when your in and out of the throttle its a truck not a caddy so I drive it like one. Which is probably why this happened. But anyways Im not new to differentials but say I pony up the little bit extra for a true trac and swap over my ring gear. In theory I shouldnt have to adjust my pinion depth correct?

If you go with a Tru-trac you will need to also swap over the tone ring also. I reccomend putting in new carrier bearings, you will just need to set the back lash, and check rational preload.
