The cheapest would be to get a spool.  That would permanently lock your axils together.

Around $135

i use my tracker on the street about 90% so spools r out. i have used detroit lockers on several other vehicals i have owned through the years. i am just looking for opinions on what locker to use i am pre pared to spend around $300. i am trying to conserve to afford a 3" suspension lift to.

spool is most likely to hardcore, i would go with a lok-rite
You can take the Sammy off the trail, but you cant take the trail out of the Sammy.

I have both a lock-rite and a detroit ez locker in my Kick. Both have held up great to years of abuse. You wont go wrong with either one.

I'll vote for the lock-rite, too. two years of abuse and year round daily driving and no problems at all. Just get the one without the side gear couplers, being sure to swap the side gers to the opposit side when installed. Gives a better contact for the teeth.
