I'm sure you'll find all your answers and them some there.


To answer your question...lockers go in your differentials and they keep one wheel from spinning faster than the other. In an unlocked diff, if one wheel loses traction, the power shifts to that one wheel. Not good. With a locker, the power will always be distributed equally. Real basic answer, but I think it should give you the idea.

Lots of options for lockers also. Keep reading!

Jerry Bransford Hey thanks, I actually just read that in the jeep forum, it helped so much. I just got activated on jeepforum.com today since I didn't have a paid email, but my dad does, and he let me use it.
