    I know alot of guys who run front lockers, I just dont like 'em.
    Now the rear one I love.
    If and its a big ole if I ever run a front locker as well it'll be an ARB.
    Just seen to many front axles break with a locker.

    If it helps I put a lockright in my 25. What a huge difference it made!

    I dont think I will break parts with the Fhead.

    The one thing I did notice is Harry told me my front end spends alot of time in the air! Harry true?

    Anyone running the Power Lock? I picked one up and I am thinking about installing it this winter.

    One of the biggest improvements I made to my 71' was a detroit locker in the rear. I had a trac lock prior and after the 3rd time I broke it I opted for the Detroit. That and the SM465 are the 2 best mods for the money I have ever done. Now when the front tires come off the ground (a lot) it just keeps on pushing.
    Just my opinion!

    Yes, sorry that’s what I meant by Powr-Lok.
    Put one in the front a couple of years ago, the rear had one when I bought my Jeep.
    The difference in traction is amazing, but you’ll also feel it at the steering wheel.
