If I was starting over from the beginning, I would find myself an elocker on Craigslist or similar, you just can't beat the price for what you get. I don't like the Eaton e-locker because it unlocks in reverse for practically half a tire rotation. I've never had a Detroit but they seem to work well, I just like to be in control. 4.88 are perfect for 33s but if I had a daily driver ifs weekend warrior I would step down to 32s to make the 22re happier then you could buy an elocker, keep the gears it came with and match the gearing up front. The 22re really loses high end torque with every increase in tire size, gears help but there is still a loss of performance overall.
and could still climb a grade on the freeway without downshifting into 3rd
i am thinking detroit in the rear and open in the front.
I'm running a Detroit in my 87 with 4.88's and 33's. Perfect! Had a spartan in the back of of the 95 I had, locked up great but banged and clanked a lot more than the Detroit. Maybe the Spartan was tighter when I installed it, only ran it a few weeks before I sold it so maybe it would get better. Detroit is pretty invisible on the street.
