Question Lock-Right into a front Dana 60

My lockright #2620 just came in for my front D60. Anyone ever installed one? I put one in the rear 14 bolt a long time ago but this looks different. The instuctions are rather vague. They say that I may or may not need to remove the ring gear. I might have to remove one axle or I might not or both ??? Any tips would be appreciated.

Nope, never done that..is that a "locker" or a "Posi/limited slip"?

I guess its technically neither. Maybe something in-between. I love the one in my 14 bolt. I've heard that they perform well in front D60's. We'll see.

Re: Lock-Right into a front Dana 60

If it stops raining, maybe I can install the damn thing tonight after work.

FUNNY, I dont mind the rain when it means wheeling in the wet stuff, plus it keeps the dust down. BUT lately in only seems to rain when the Blazer is down....

Re: Lock-Right into a front Dana 60

Man if this thing works HALF as good as it was EASY to install I'll be thrilled. I didnt have to remove the carrier or the axles. Just pulled the center pin out, popped out the spiders and the 6 locker pieces went in one at a time. Simple, it only took about 30 minutes.

I hope to try it out this weekend.

Re: Lock-Right into a front Dana 60

I tried mine this past weekend, and it worked awesome! My steering leaves a little to be desired now though (going hydro assist in the near future) even with crossover.
