lockrite locker or the extream traction system

[90rangersuper]

looking at locking the 8.8 in the rear checking out powertrax website. They offer 2 choice of either the lockrite locker or The POWERTRAX TRACTION SYSTEM. the truck is my dd to work, would the lockrite be alright to install, i would say i am on road 70% and off road 30%, i hate getting stuck with the one wheel spin that always seems to happen.

get the lock right, if your 8.8 is a limited slip right now all you can get it the power trax no slip.

extreme traction system = no slip FYI.

+1. I'd go no slip.

 

[mkpecor]

really.

no-slip, way smoother, and stronger

+4ish on the no-slip, i love mine!

the teeth do not contact while ratcheting, so it will last much longer than a lock-right in a daily driver.

it is also silent for the same reason. just as easy to install too, but about $90 more expensive--well worth it for a rear end.

they offer the same off road performance. they are both good on the street, but the no-slip is better suited for you.

how hard is it to install the no slip, i have never done anything with axle's before besides change the fluid

I've had my Lock-Right since 2001. I daily drove with it until 2005 in a stock Ranger, then a modified Ranger, then a modified B2. I drove it occasionally since then until this week when I finally decided the body and lighting were too damaged to avoid the attention of the sheriff's department and took the plates off.

The Lock-Right is cheaper, but the teeth don't wear off. The halves are pushed apart by the crosspin and ramps in the coupler halves. Most of the time, you don't notice anything at all. On my pickup I could hear a light "tock-tock-tock-tock" when making a long tight turn in a parking lot. The body of the B2 keeps any sound at all from reaching me though.

always im looking for the cheapest route here, i have a few other things to take care of before i do the lock rite, i just dont wannt f nething up using the lockrite as a dd, which what you said should be fine, thanks for the info

edit: looking on the site, said carrier not included, do i need to get that or not

 

[metalmacguyver]

Nope. you already have the carrier with the gear on it and the spider gears inside of it. The lockright just replaces the spiders.

If you can change your diff fluid, then your half way to installing a lockright.

I had the "N0-Slip" in my 4x4 Ranger with no problems at all in the Wisconsin weather for over 30K miles. Easy to install, just need your common socket set and some jack stands. I'm over here in Stevens Point, give me a shout(PM) if you need the moral support/help some week-end.
