Who has done it or who is doing it? What type of trails do you run?

A dealer told me the lockright will break for sure with 35's. They only recommend it for 33's or lower? Is the ez-locker the same deal since they are basically the same design.? I figured the cv's would break first before the diff or locker.

Should I just stay open in the front until I cross over to the dark side and SAS?

IMO:

since the 7.5" IFS r/p are prone to breakage w/ a locker- and your gonna do a SAS on it sooner or later, save the money for that locker instead.

but, since breakage is the best excuse to upgrade <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> go for it <img border="0" alt="[Hillbilly]" title="" src="graemlins/notooth.gif" />

SAS now, or forever hold your piece(s). Of front end. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

What the largest size tire you can run with a locker? I'm going to be taking the RockStomper approach. <img border="0" alt="[Nerd]" title="" src="graemlins/nerd.gif" />

I had an EZ-locker that I was going to install into my IFS diff, running 35s and 4.88s at the time. Until I stripped another set of 4.88 IFS gears, then I believe I sold the EZ locker to your bro in-law Patrik <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> After I sold that, I sold the IFS lift and everything else and gave up on IFS, crossed over to the dark side and will never turn back. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

I've stripped two sets of IFS gears and broke two CVs without a front IFS locker (All with 4.88s and 35s), I can only imagine it being worse with a locker up front. I also agree I doubt the locker would break first, I bet the ring gear or a CV would go before the locker will. Save your $$$.

I have decided to not put the locker in and pray my wife lets me run with the big dogs someday. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

Put it in. You aren't going to break the locker. You'll probably break stub and CV shafts, but those are cheap & easy to find w/ all the SASing going on. Just carry spares and know how to change them. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

The R&P wont be any more suceptible to breakage than it was before. Just dont BOUNCE the front tires when on the gas (I've seen TRD12 drive! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" /> ). Bouncing will break rear gears in a hurry too...

I didn't know David was the boucing tire type of driver. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> Anybody else.....
