Ryan - I like your thoughts, but why not Detroit Lockers on all three axles, Overson hubs on the front axle and Overson hubs with double splined shafts on one rear axle (your choice of axle) for maximum on road snow belt performance, decent off road use as well? Not that I have that much pocket change to buy all those parts, but I CAN dream, can't I?
As I understand it, the ARB lockers lock the diff up solid when engaged, whereas the Detoit Lockers initially allow a limited amount of slip, lock up solid when the wheel speed difference exceeds a preset limit, then disengage when the wheel torques equal out again. Am I correct in this assumption?
