Thanks Matt, I figured it was a fair price for a used locker plus a brand new pin and spring kit which was $20.

No, this locker was in a front axle I bought. I bought 2 front axles with 4.10's and a rear axle with 4.10's from a different site. I never put the axles under my truck so I can't answer your question. I'm collecting parts to regear and install lockers all at once.

Quick question on these lockers. Hope you don't mind. I can't find the info anymore.
I once read somewhere (possibly TRS) that if you have 4:10 gears then you have to remove either the carrier or the ring gear to actually install the locker. Something along those lines. Basically it was about something being too large to actually get the locker parts into the carrier. I can't remember exactly. They stated the install went ok with anything higher than 4:10 gears, as it was just a drop in install, but not with 4:10s.
OP or anyone know the low down on this?
If nothing else then this'll be a free bump.

It is absolutely essential that the 2 front tires are the same circumference or that momentary pull will change to a constant pull in the direction of the smaller tire. If the difference is significant, the pull becomes very strong. I'm not talking about different sizes printed on the sidewall; this is just from one tire being worn more than the other. To get acceptable tracking, I had to measure all 4 and pick the 2 that were virtually identical in circumference and install them on the front.
Whether you're on snow or off road or anywhere else, a front locker (with matched tires) definitely prefers straight ahead to turning whenever you're applying power.
Even with its quirks, I think a front locker is OK. The Aussie is compact, relatively cheap, and not too difficult to install. Mine has never given me any problems.

So other than shimming up the locker itself to specs and buying new ring gear bolts (or threadlocking your old ones) there's nothing else involved in the install that's terribly bad? As in, not requiring a professional to set up anything with a dial indicator or checking/confirming gear mesh after re-installing the ring gear and locker?
For the record I have searched here, and on Google (all forums) on installing a locker but there aren't a whole lot of good threads on the process..

The install does not affect the pinion to ring gear setup. I Loctited and reused the original ring gear bolts.

I read through those instructions and they just confuse me a little. The part about setting it up and installing the c-clips got me, since the axles would still be in the truck, and the diff would be out and on the bench. The rear seems like it would be so much easier than the front.
I've changed rear axle shafts, seals, etc, but I suppose this is something I better not try after all.
OP - Thanks for letting me clutter up your thread. This is good info for anyone considering a front locker. Also, thanks to rwenzing for the info and links!

There aren't any c-clips. The instructions that came with it make it seem harder than it really is. Also, the instructions are generic, as in they work for c-clip and non c-clip differentials.
