I acquired a new ARB for uber cheap and could potentially sell it if I think installing two LSDs would be more beneficial then having just the one locker. In 4 low the ESP is not as sensitive and im thinking that the ESP could actually help the LSDs act like more of a locker almost instead of stopping wheel spin to the point its bogging down the motor. All of my local wheeling is sand, dirt, mud and water crossings. I get a tire off the ground often depending on the obstacle. Im wondering that when I do get the tire off the ground is the LSD going to give me enough umph to get up and over where a locked axle would surely shine. So how bout a vote and some opinions? I only want to do one of the two to save on some coin. So no I will not be going LSD/ARB, neither will I settle for LSD/Lunchbox.

Id say 1 True Locker is better than 2 Limited Slips

2 limited slips and ESP is better then one real locker,but at the cost of some brake pad life.

I considered LSD at one point but after hearing from some serious offroaders that ive worked with before that LS can destroy a differential, especially ones that arent cast steel like the front one on the KK, i have decided against it and saving for a pair of ARBs

How can a LSD destroy your diff? I'd really like to hear this explaination :ROTFL: :ROTFL: .



A auto locker like the lunchbox styles(aussie,powertrax) will damage your diff faster then a LSD will ever.Driving on pavement with a locker "locked" does more damage then a LSD will ever do also as the LSD will "slip" as the locker(like a ARB when locked) will not.

2 lsd+ esp is pretty good but 1 real locker + esp for the front is just as good and if you can save some money for a 2nd arb later then you would have the best setup. personally id keep the arb.
