i am debating between the 2, i will be running 33's and maybe 35's down the road. will these handle meats that size? anyone running either of these lockers offroad often?

any opinions or advice is appreciated

thanks

They are both made by Powertrax. The No-Slip is a new design, much stronger, and less noise than the Lock Right. The Lock Right is cheaper than the No-Slip.

Didn't do the installatin myself but others here have intalled the No-Slip by themselves in a few hours.

anyone?

I have the 32" and 4.10. I think a few may be running 33"s but don't know if there are any running it with 35".

I don't know how that will affect the gears/locker/carrier but you could always give Powertrax a call at their Tech line to find out for sure. It has only a 3 year warranty, that's the only draw back.

Ive got the No-Slip and installed it . I run 31s and am switching to 32s , I dont know about 35s.

The install was simple- would have taken less than an hour if the pinion lock bolt didnt break off. Most time consuming of the whole install was filling the diff back up with lube.

I love the unit on and off the road. Do a search of the site you will get a few hits on the No Slip.

Good luck.

I've got Lock Rights front and back in my truck and run 35's. My 8.8 is only a 28 spline and I haven't had any trouble.

Offroad, yea. We run the badlands in Indiana several times a year. Check out the link in my sig.

I've got a pwrtrx No-slip on it's way, question

I've got one ordered from Randys ring and pinion, it should be here in time for memorial day! My question revolves around installation into my disc braked explorer rear end: to slide the axle shafts out, you just have to remove the brake calipers and then pop off the c-clip, right? Is there anything else holding the shafts in? Do you have to take the discs off or remove the disc brake housing on each side? Any help you can provide would be
a big help! Thanks!

O.K. I just got back from Moab and had a blast. Check out the thread for return from Moab or something like that.
Mike and I are both running the no-slip and open in the front and we ran with the BIG DAWGS and only had trouble once. The no-slip works great on the road as long as you remember to coast around the corners. I would say go with the no-slip.
I know Gerald also has the no-slip.
