I'm currently building a Dana 44 for my TJ, and am debating between a Lockright, Powertrax No-Slip, and Detroit. I would like to here from those who have run more than one/ all of these personally, and how you would compare them.
Here's the background. I've run the stock 30, and 35 w/ Lockrights for several yrs. w/ various ratios(4.10 at the moment), and 32" Swamper radials. The front has not had any failure to date of gears or locker. I sold the rr. Lockright to a friend and tried a Gearless locker by Tractech, and an ARB. After breaking the gearless and not caring for the ARB, I got the Lockright back from my friend and reinstalled it. Since then, w/ harder use than the first time, I've broken the crosspin twice. But overall I've been satisfied w/ it. The breakage in the rr axle has always occured when launching on asphalt. Still original shafts probably because offroad I tend to be a "little" easier on it. I was looking at the Super 44 kit but don't know if I need that as shafts haven't been the problem. Thanks for any constructive input.
