I've got a 92' 2WD Sport....

Thinking about an ARB for the rear....

What am I looking at price range? Or should I even bother?

Since this is my daily driver, I do want the option to use or not use the lock.... hence the ARB....

and what rear end does my Jeep have?

Input is much appreciated.

I'm assuming you have a D35 rear axle. First off if your going to upgrade an axle make sure it's one worth upgrading, for example an XJ D44 or a Ford Explorer 8.8 and maybe even a late model chysler 8.25. Anyway, unless you really find an awsome deal on the D35 ARB wich is usually around $600 +install, then it's not worth your money. first put your money on a bettter axle or look for a cheaper locker, like an lock-rite or even a Limited Slip like a Tru-Trac.

It also depends on where you go wheeling nad how often, most guys can get by really well with a limited slip. It just depends where you realy want to go.

Dont forget about $200 for the compressor,Im losing my No-slip for an ARB(better driveability).

XJ dana 44s go for 300-400$
And ARB lockers for these are easier to find

With the ARB you don't need a fancy compressor, but it would take some plumbing with an air tank. this will addd more labor or more to the installation fee.
