i was wondering what I can put in the front 30 on my Jeep. I do alot of road driving, but want to have some traction aid for the offroading i do. Any opinions are welcome I was thinking the powerlock, because I heard some good things about them from a friend who has one in a grand. Thanks JOE>

i have a lockrite, you would never know it unless I put my jeep in 4x4. I was confussed at one point as well, but i realized that there is no amnt. of torque applied to the front axle in 2x4, so the lockrite remains un-locked.

i have the non disconnect hp d30. If the lockrite is a good Idea that would be something to look at as well Ii guess. Locker in the front, I just don't want to loose my drivabilty. More explanation on the lockrite Please JOE.

Personally I have a True Trac in the front of my 30. Its only a matter of spending an extra hundred bucks for the traction device and the time to install it. But a lot of people argue that the lockrite is better... the lock rite is simple to install, and inexpensive.. It all comes down to personal preferance..They both work well...

Would I be able to fit the lockrite in the carrier for the 4.56 gears in the front or is this going to be a problem. Anyone out there got 4.56 and the lockright? JOE>

Yes you can fit the lockrite in the same carrier you have your 4.56's on.... You just remove the spider gears and install the lockrite in their place...pretty simple install...
