Looking for guidance on traction aids

Lonesome7.3 · 05-02-2009, 02:28 AM

I want it install lockers in my truck, but not for serious off road use. I need a rear locker that is very street friendly. We use the truck for hauling heavy loads down the interstate so I would prefer something that would make improvements in that area. The reason I want to lock both the front and rear is because we some times traverse down roads that require it. We barely make it through unlocked and unloaded so imagine the complication a heavy trailer adds to the problem. Then when it rains, these roads turn into a sandy and muddy challenge so there is no traveling down them with the truck like it is now. I would prefer on demand lockers but no one I have researched makes them for a Sterling 10 ¼. So, what do you all suggest? What lockers are out there that would work with my truck and fit our needs?

I forgot to mention something. For the D60 up front, I want a decent middle of the road kind of locker. I want something that will perform in the above mentioned environments, but I do not think I require a high dollar top of the line locker

Well Auburn makes a decent posi or there is the lunch box locker that uses your existing open carrier. If you are using your 4x on the road alot I would go with a drop in posi carrier like Auburn or Detroit locker or even Eaton.Hope that helps.
