My daughter has had two lockrights in the rear of her 95 YJ, first one
lasted a day, second one lasted a week, it was her 19th birthday yesterday
and I got her a detroit locker. Although it may be something to do with her
haveing a ford 9" in the rear, both lockrights, ( for the 9" ) were
installed by machanics, first one my brother in law, ford master machanic,
second by our neighbour, 60 year old machanic. My advise would be to save
your money.

Re: 90YJ powertrax no-slip lockers
 

I started with a front locker in my CJ. Installed it myself (not a hard
job), and I picked the front because with the hubs unlocked there would be
no difference in daily driving, I figured it was the safest one to try
first. I liked it so much I did a rear locker shortly after. I have been
happy with them both. I live a few hours from Moab, so it has seen some
good use. I have 32" tires. The rear locker in the snow can be a little
different, never had a problem in the rain.
I think for the price the powertrax / lock-rite locker is a good choice. I
have no doubt that a detroit or ARB would be a better locker with some
advantages. But for the price, and self installation I have been extremely
happy.

Re: 90YJ powertrax no-slip lockers
 

you're running 31'a with no lift? How is that working for you? I was told it
just wouldn't work...

You can do it if you use aftermarket wheels with a different offset
than stock. I've seen several like that with no problem.
Of course, if you really like to flex your jeep you might run into
problems, but for general off road trail riding it should be OK.

Thats good then. I've done the springs on my 89 and I swear they are lifted
(bought them used) so there shouldn't be any problems...cross my fingers
