27 or 29? powertrax related help wanted:)

went to order non slip for my 8.25 today and the guy asked me what type is it, if its 27 or 29.. its a 98 XJ with auto, and 3.55s ...
also would getting non slip for rear and lockright for front be a good idea for a daily driver?

You should have a 29 spline, 96 was suppose to be the last of the 27 spline. If you have the 27 spline I would still order the 29 spline and change the rear end, thats what I done on my 96.

I run a powertrax no-slip in the rear and a Lock-rite in the front on my daily driver and am very pleased with both on and off road.

did you break any shafts or anything ...yet? how is the clicking with the lockers? i have heard different stories about clicking .. .. so just wanted to compare... how is it in the snow? we get quite a lot in winter

While were on the subject, did anyone notice that the Powertrax lockers (No-Slip & LockRite) are not recommended for front axles unless they are equiped with manual hubs? Has this been a problem for anyone? I've been considering these lockers but don't want install one if it's going to cause more problems that it solves.

I had the No-Slip back when I still had the 8.25. I had no clicking at all. Driving with a locker in the snow isn't that bad. You just have to respect it and drive it like a locked rig, not a sportscar. We don't get tons of show here but usually get several decent snows a year.

I also have an Aussie locker in the front. It clicks quite a bit when making slow, sharp turns. Lockrites are similar from what I have heard. It is invisible (other than the clicking) in 2WD.

When I drive on snow and or ice, I take the turns with a lot less gas. Just to try it my self I went to a parking lot and gave it to much gas barely turning and did a nice 180.
