Locker for dana 80

[Dodgehunter84]

I need any info/help about lockers. don't know much about them. I'm wanting to put one in my dana 80. What would be a good one to sled pull with and still be able to use on the street?

I have a new 3.54 carrier ARB air locker in the box, $500.00

Is that everything or just the locker?

ARB is the best for a D80 that sees the street and sledpulls, hands down. Unless you don't mind wearing out tires faster than needed...

Mine has a lincoln locker in it. It is a cheap alternative to the pricy lockers. Took me about 30 mins to put it in,






Oh yeah and about 50 dollars in welding rods. LOL
It chirps like a ***** but no doubt it is sending power to both wheels. The front is a powertrax lockright in it. They are on sale from Haisley right now for $385.

I ran a Detroit in my 97 for 2 years as a daily driver before it went to a full time pulling truck. You get used to the popping and jerking around corners but it is not unbearable or undriverable.

Detroit, however does not make a 3.55 geared locker. My local 4x4 guy knew the way around this. He took a HD D7 4.10 Detroit and drilled the ring gear bolt holes out to the 3.55 ring bolt size. Has worked flawlessly in my truck.
