Re: locker for 12 bolt

that would be a matter of opinion...provided the small details you provided. IMHO for street use with the occasional trip to the track...an Eaton posi works great.

Re: locker for 12 bolt

Thanks for input. Just want to have traction when I need it, like at a boat ramp. Most of the time I won't need it. Was looking at a you tube video called "difference btw. locker and limited slip". If you look at that you'll see what I am talking about, beside the fact that it's a fun video.
