Get a locker. You will find yourself going alot further down the trail than a limited slip.

 

^^save yourself the trouble and just buy a locker. theyr cheap for the 8.8 compared to a 44a. put an aussie in my 44a and love it

 

No No No, u need to get a LSD carriers and mail me your open carrier. LOL j/k get a lunch box locker for like 250 bucks. you will NOT be happy with a LSD

 

I run 35's.... A little powertrax wont hold up.

seems a bit spendy, for a little more I could get selectable lockers.

 

who said it wont?
then get an aussie or another lunchbox. iv seen d44a's with aussies and 35s all over the forums and theyv had no problems
and if you think a powertrax wont hold up to 35s, then how would a LSD?


one more point to make with the lsd vs locker
as im sure you know (if ya dont then youll learn something new here), you gotta reset up gears when you install a limited slip.

meaning new parts. plus youll want to get a clutch rebuild kit for the lsd because used are usually worn out or close to it. then if you dont know how to set up your own gears, you gotta take it to the shop and theyll charge prolly 200+. if you know how to do it yourself or have a friend who can thats great, but its still a PITA.

so basically by time you buy a lsd, clutch rebuild, other parts for gear set up, youll be on your way to buying yourself a locker. believe me i know first hand. i bought a factory 44a traklock from somebody on MC couple years back, bought all new rebuild clutches and an axle rebuild kit to install it. by time i spend that i had enough for a locker. ended up selling all those parts this summer (never got around to getting it installed) and bought myself an aussie.

just something to think about

 

get out the welder

but seriously those aussies are like 250 and id expect em to be stronger than your spiders

 

john what size tires do you run?

 

currently have some 265/75/16. iv got a set of used 33s in my garage, just no rims for them yet

 

Has anybody tried a Yukon Spartan? They are supposed to be stronger than the Aussie. I know a guy here running one and so far he really likes it. I believe he got it for $225 with free shipping.

 

I went through a bunch of effort once to get a limited slip in an old blazer I used to have.

When I really needed it to work, it would slip. Ended up going with a locker and not looking back.

you will be fine with a lunchbox locker and an 8.8 on 35's. Check Ebay or look around on the jeep boards and see if you can pick one up cheap.
