Differential help PLEASE!!!

StockRustang · 05-14-2005, 06:38 PM

im putting an 8.8 in my 85.
i need help on choosing a differential. i was looking into just a regular limited slip, like an auburn or eaton, nothing to extreme just something that will last.
but i came across the PowerTrax Loc-Right Locker. its decently priced at 340$, little cheaper then most diffs. it sais it unlocks around corners so its streetable and what not.

my question is what will i be better off with? a regular replacement style diff or would one of these Lockers be better off for me?
i'v already worn down my nice new Mickeys un-evenly because of this stupid 7.5, and i dont want that to happen again.

i'v got my credit card in my hand ready to order, just want some info from someone who has possibly used a setup like this.
