theyre talkin about one wheel moving faster than the other through a corner and it caused some binding, like having it in 4x4 on pavement.
when going round a corner the outside wheel is traveling more than the inside (more ground to go over) so if the two rears are locked togethor you get binding
with a limited slip they arent always locked and it makes for better driving and less ware

If this is a daily I wouldnt even consider a locker in the rear thats asking for problems and also you'll wear the tires out faster

Where are you guys getting the best rpices for the rears at?

I looked at one of my wholsalers and they showed the Auburn units at like $350-496 for the basic model and then the heavy duty unit.

You can buy them cheaper than jobber in a lot of places. I odnt know about any sponsors though. You can buy Eatons for almost the same price also.

sounds like Eaton posi is your best choice. there are a number of places you can get them. some places it might hard to find them in stock.

if anyone wants ideas where to get Eaton, PM me since they are non-sponsor
