I'm set up with 6" of lift and 33" ProComp XTerains with stock gears. Back in the game! '94 YJ 2.5 all stock.

The only differences known to me would be the fact that some make a clicking noise when they disconnect themselves and some do not. For this single reason I use the silent ones.

I have had LockRights in both ends of my CJ-7 with 4.56 gears (rear has a Warn full floater), and have had zero problems with it. As with any automatic locker in the front, don't engage the front axle if you're on icy roads with reverse camber. That's why an actuated locker (like an Air Locker) is probably better for a vehicle that spends most of its time on the street. -- but you'll pay about twice as much. 1977 CJ-7, fiberglass body, AMC 360 w/ headers, DUI ignition, Edelbrock intake and Holley 4150 carb, TF999, Dana 300, 4.56 gears lockers, York air comp, 4" susp lift, 2" body lift, BFG 35" M-T tires, Megashifter, AGR pump & box, REP8000 winch.

When I bought my lunchbox, the cheapest was lockrite.

I'm getting ready to put in a lunch box type locker too and was wondering the same as you. The amount of clicking noise is a concern of mine too and I was looking at the Powertrax No-Slip locker over their LockRight. The No-Slip is supposed to be quieter but cost more. Has anyone had experience with both and is it worth the extra cost to get the supposedly quieter and less clicky No-Slip? 1985 Toyota Pickup 1994 Jeep Cherokee Sport Re: LockRight vs. EZ Locker [Re: XJCreeper] #731752 06/18/06 10:36 PM Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 7,768 Central Texas BigJim Web Wheeler It is worth the extra cost to me...but not to others. Around town the things click on all turns. When offroading it is not so irritable to most drivers. Depending on your particular ride the clicking can be louder (more noticable) than some other rides. I use the powertrax and am happy to NOT hear it.

My buddy has a lock right in his jeep and he loves it too. Only difference between the two is the no-slip is a lot quieter; they both handle and perform the exact same.

It's been a while since I took a look at both but the price of the two seem to have got alot closer.<img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> At Tellico4x4 the No-Slip for the Chrysler 8.25" is about $85 more than the LockRight. Since I can't put big speakers in the XJ's factory locations I gonna spend to get the quiter locker. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> 1985 Toyota Pickup 1994 Jeep Cherokee Sport Re: LockRight vs. EZ Locker #731755 06/19/06 11:43 PM Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 56 Fresno, CA fresnodb OP Getting the Wheeling Fever Pardon my ignorance, but just what is meant by a "lunch box type locker"???

Lunchbox referes to any of the self-instsall lockers! They do not need any adjustment and almost anyone can install them.
