Re: Lockright locker!!!
 

I can testify that the Lock-Right, when properly installed (in a Dana 44,30)
works great and takes a lot of abuse. Mine has been in for 4 years. I have
no experience with the Ford axles though.

Re: Lockright locker!!!
 

I've heard rumor that the LockRite shouldn't be used with tires larger
than 31". Is that true or just myth? I've never seen any caution
statements from the manufacturer or any articles.
I'm running 33" mud tires right now and am concerned that when I put a
much more powerful engine in, it may break the locker if that's true.
P.S. Don't want to perpetuate a rumor. Just want to hear if it's true or
not.

Re: Lockright locker!!!
 

I have had one in the front of my 75 CJ5 for about 6 years & it still works
great. Lots of offroading to boot. Also I have a V-8 with a T-18 trans & 34"
buckshots!
