I was wondering what everyone suggested for lockers and regearing, I was planning on getting ARB Air lockers, but recently heard that the Aussie Locker for the rear was really nice.

I was also planning on regearing when I install my lockers, and I was wondering what my options are, Does anyone make 4.56 gears for the KJ, or am I stuck going to 4.10?

suggested sources to buy either part from would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Andy

4.10s are the lowest for the front that you can get so stuck with those.
Lockers doing front and rear at the same time?
Of course the best set up would be ARB front and rear selectable any time you need them abd when you do flip a switch

darbywalters had a list he posted a long time ago and he choices were
1 ARB front ARB rear
2 DTT front ARB rear
3 ARB front DTT rear
4 DTT front and rear
5 DTT front Power trax rear

Of course since that list came out the Auusie has hit the market which from everything I have read is much better in the rear than the powertrax
hope that helps some

I've been searching for hours and couldn't find 4.56 gears up front :cry:

so I guess 4.10 will have to do,

Front and rear lockers will be done at the same time, ARB Front/rear will probably be my choice, because I want to get an Air Compressor anyways.

Anybody have a good source for 4.10s?

If you can afford the ARB setup that's probably the way i'd choose, it depends on what you want though. I'd like the ARB cause i don't like the idea of having a differential locked full time. Plus I think your right the air compressor is a big bonus too.

Yeah just the 4.10, if I had the money I would do ARBs front and rear, but the Aussie is good with a DTT in the front or a DTT front and a DL rear, I am planning on doing an Aussie on the rear of my CJ just for the cost and everything good Ive heard of them

Well, I did not have the money for the ARB in the back diff right now, so I just threw the DTT front and rear with the 4.10's. Figured that would be good enough with the traction control for now. If I go crazy later I can always resell the DTT if it is still in good shape.

I am almost done wearing them in.
