if i recall pretty much all 4dr exploder springs usually work the best, the 2 door gives u a bit less lift. i know for a certainty all 1st and 2nd gen springs work perfectly, so thats what u should shoot for

shouldnt be a issue, aslong as its a 4 door and has a 8.8 out back it should be the same

nice, thanks bro, ima try to get out your way this week, im trying to get that lift on this weekend. camper bobs couldnt get those spring plates either so im just gonna be careful cutting the old ones out. oh and for what it matters, the oil in the 8.8 i bought was clean, and everything looked good lol.

real stupid question, but what is a lunch box locker?

 

[mhughes165]

lunch box lockers replace the spiders in the rear, so, a lockright would be considered a lunch box locker

oh ok so basically a non selectable locker right?

 

[Sasquatch_Ryda]

Any locker that replaces just the spider gears and not the whole carrier, which would require your gears to be re-set up. Powertrax lockright, power trax no slip and Aussie locker and the best of the 'lunchbox' style lockers. Stay away from the other brands and they just seem to have a tendancy to fail.
