i was looking at lockers for my 95 bronco with the stock 8.8 ford rear and front end axles and i was wondering what i need? do i buy the locker and gears seperate? which locker should i get?which is the best?

Some recommendations from yours truly, in order from most expensive to least.

Arb Air Locker

Eaton Electric Locker

Ox Cable locker

Detroit Locker

Auburn

Then you get into the cheapy's like genuine gear and powertrax

Look through those and it all comes down to what do you want to spend.

I am going with Detroit Lockers front and rear. They are about $800.00 a piece.

Gears are seperate, they are all pretty much the same price for the different ratios. Before you get your locker, figure out what gears you want because some lockers are only good for certain gearsets. For example a detroit locker has a seperate part number for 4.56 and under than 4.56 and up. In other words if you buy one for your 3.55's it wont work if you decide to upgrade to 4.88's

if you plan on driving the truck on the road in snow and rompin on it big time in mud i'd highly suggest just locking the rear..having it locked in the front will make it a big pain to handle in mud and snow...but they do one **** of a job and are worth the money

its hard to steer when both wheels are turning ... you need the out side one to slip a little and not be locked because it will pull like ****

But if your stubborn like me then you can just unlock one hub in the turny spots.
