detroit ez locker
« on: March 15, 2005, 01:20:22 PM »
what do you guys think about EZ lockers or other cheaper lockers? I know you probably get what you pay for, but right now I cant afford the expensive ones. would it be worth it to get an EZ? I'm thinking about getting a stock sammi and want to get wheeling ASAP. would I regret getting a Detroit EZ locker?

i was planning on just going ez locker in the rear at first. I heard running a front one is sketchy on the pavement. this car will double as transportation so i need it to be decent on the road to go to and from work and whatnot. is there any reason you wouldnt put it in the rear?

Go for it!!!! ;D You wont regret it. The more expensive lockers do operate smoother but at twice the price they ought to. I ran a lockrite and a detroit r/f for many years with 33's and only occasionally broke a spring pin when abusing the hell out of my kick.

the front locker will have no efect to the driving on road as long as ur hubs r unlocked. i run a lockrite in the rear it is an excelent product. u may want to get some help with the install because it can become very difficult. there is a help line u can call and they pretty much know everything about gears and lockers. the problem comes in when ur limited knoldge keeps u from giving them a proper discription of the problem. that is what happened to me.

That ez should be very strong. I have a relative that runs one in his scout (poor misguided soul ;D).  I has done the 'Con twice and outlived two motors, and massive.....uuuhhhmmmm......structural carnage.
