Order yourseld a 1510 lockright. its the same as the 1512 but comes with sierra cross pins that you wont need.

I can not remember which, but I have heard rumor one engages and disengages better than the other.

I can not remember if it is the one that comes with the couplers, or the one that re-uses your side gears.

I am sure someone will come along and tell us which is better (if it is not just all in the setup).

I am not 100% but I believe your front diff will have 22 spline side gears and axles, the rear will always be 26 spline.


You may want to look for a steel front diff when you can. They hold up better than the ally ones.

the one with couplers is really hard on the driveline. Best to use the 1510 that uses your side gears.

Im going through this at the moment aswell.

Did some googling and found that using the stock side gears allows a smoother locking/unlocking, compared to using the couplers which are more agressive

x2, i run the one without the couplings, just make sure you get someone decent to install it for you. will decide whether your car will stay a pleasure to drive or become a pig to drive.

i dont want to be the one to make the decision for you but yeah. have a look on the lowrange offroad (i think) website and choose your model vit, then choose the locker WITHOUT couplers.

enjoy
