Hey,


so i looked in the FAQ but couldn't find anything, would anyone mind explaining what lockers are? and do they come on stock axles? and if not are they worth getting?

thanks!

Selectable lockers, when engaged, Locke the axel shafts together so the both tires right and left move together at the same rate.

Ok so a locker is what locks both the left and right side axle shafts making them spin at the same time, without this you may see a tire spinning in 4wd when stuck! they come on rubicons and that is it, aftermarket great for non rubicons! Is it worth the money only you can answer that, How hard to you off road? hard then yes they will deff help you take harder lines, if you do not off road a ton and do not have extreme trails you wiill be ok with out them.

here is a good video to help http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9AbWnRQCac

On Project-jk.com there is a great write up on the different lockers. Here is the link http://project-jk.com/jeep-jk-tech/dynatrac-presents-lockers-101

It really helped me out to figure which one I was going to go with.
