Hi Tyson,

Nope, gotta use the kick lockrite.   Stinks...I had a Sami locker laying around, and had to buy another for my kick.... :-\

get the trail tough spool instead, its alot less $$ and it drives very well on the street, I also run 30's on my daily driver with a spool with no turning problems at all and so much easier to install and spools last forever. my $.02 ;D

  Bull hockey, you can use a sammi rear lock rite in a kick diff. I have did it on both kick diffs I owned. The side gears must match your lock rite or use your old ones. Buy new side gears if you can for extra endurance.

That's my vote too.  I run the mini-spool in my green "turtle" and it actually does just fine on road.

How does a mini spool work and how is it better? Is it appropriate for the front also?

I thought the mini spool locked everything up solid in the rear, how is that for turning on dry pavement? If it's good I'd put one in, I hear so many conflicting opinions about the lockright

The spool does just lock your rear end solid.  It isn't bad, but it does tend to chew your tires up a little faster and you squeak a bit when making tight corners.  But the behavior is pretty tame, as it will always act the same.

Then again, with 30" tires you shouldn't have a much of a problem with the lockright binding up in the rear.

What does the tires size have to do with binding?

Im gonna break down and buy a spool I think..  I heard they are kinda sucky on wet or snowy roads though.

But hey, for 100 bucks, a fully locked rear is priceless offroad.  After I get the 30" tires next spring to replace my running-down 235's I got now  I wont have anything else on my list of things to get.

Smaller tires means less stress.  I think that is how it goes...

One thing about the spool, you increase your turning radius a bit by using one  :)

The lockright itself from a sam or a kick are the same. I don't know about the sidegears bcoz i bought them without. Anyway I had a sam lockright and a kick lockright and i coud not find the difference...
