Dana 70 locker options

[FunNmuD]

I am looking for a locker idea for a dana 70.

I have been running OX Lockers for years in another rig but OX doesn't make a locker for the 70. I am not big fan of ARB but thinking this is going to be my best choice.

I am planning to run OX upfront in the Ford 60.

Anybody elses thoughts on which way to go?

I have been thinking about doing cutting breaks.

ARB
Power Lock

That is about the only options. I run a Detroit. What 70 do you have? Some are different size carriers.

Mine is welded, and turning is no prob. Then again I have front dig which you dont have for when it really gets tight. Believe it or not I prefer a welded rear, and detroit front. Damn near bulletproof reliable.:;

I have a simular setup spool in rear detroit in front......Steve I would just weld the Shiat out of it and call it good

Welding is really not an option as I want to do cutting brakes so I can pivot on one tirer.

I'm alright with my spool rear/detroit front except for places with traction like Moab, Phoenix, The Hammers and the OM...it's making turning a bitch.

I'll be putting a detroit back in the rear this winter.

Been thru the OM, and Moab. To each their own I guess. Maybe I just dont know any difference as I have never ran anything else.:;

Sounds like you are headed for ARB Ville. A Detroit can be run but will not be able to do powered diggs if that makes sence.

Front burns (can't have the rear engaged) while holding one of the cutting brakes in the rear.
