In the very near future I am going to re-do my whole front end (new shocks, coils, axle seals,etc.) I am going to have the front diff out to replace the oil seal and I want your opinions about if I should install a locker. I have manual hubs and run 29" tires with 31's in the near future. I am mostly stock and I do every type of terrain (rocks, mud, sand, snow). I have a stock l/s in the rear which still works good. I am thinking about either a powertrax no slip or lock right. I dont want to spend too much on it (<400). What is everyones experiences? Does the clicking of the lock right get annoying? Do you usually have to unlock a hub when making tight turns on switchbacks for example (I like the mountain trails in CO). What about snow? I usually gas it through snow and sometimes turning i gas it or else i will stop because of my clearence and plowing up the snow. Will the front locker severly limit turning through the snow? An ARB and limited slips are out of the question unless there is a lunchbox l/s but i havent heard of one. Lastly who has the best price on the lock right & no-slip as well as part #'s for a 91 front open diff? Thanks.
