Or a detroit locker that's more expensive and harder to install. Or an axle swap for an 8.8 so you have more choices in lockers but it dies not matter what you do, you're going to spend money.

Find yourself an 8.8" out of any '90-'92 4.0L Ranger with the stock Traction-Lok L/S. Same exact width as your stock axle, and should eliminate that one-wheel-peel (you can repack the L/S clutches to make it grip even tighter if you want as well). Except for possibly having to swap your driveshaft (or modify the pinion flange), it bolts right in.
