locker Vs,spool
« on: Jan 24, 2007, 06:10:45 AM »
I'm about to put 5.29s in my 84. I want to know if it would more benefitary for me to put a spool or a assuie locker in the rear. its getting an assuie in the front but i've heard a spool makes it harder to take tight turns, i do alot of woods wheelling. this truck doesn't see the street. mud, hills, some rock, and i run over trees alot if that helps .

spool the rear if it does not see the street, hell, even if it does. An Aussie or lockright can be annoying and squirrely on the street, but a spool acts the same all the time

spool or save yourself some $ and weld the rear and put the extra $ in the front with a Detroit.
