Help, need more traction!
Ok, with the 9.75 reaqr and 8.8 front axle there are no Eaton locker available, so should I do a Detroit full locker or go with Eaton LS in front and back? The locker would be nice, but I am worried about street driving. Help, need more traction and do not want to soly rely on the local shops.

FYI eaton/detroit = same thing 
i run the full locker in the rear with no problems or complaints, it really does a great job on and off road for me. i barely noticed it with my 4.6 in the truck, i know its there now with my blown 5.4. but with my 4.6 i would have to punch it around a corner to lock it up.
i have 40k on my tires, i think i can get 20 more, that should give you an idea of smoothness of operation.
if you want more input from other situations, ask and i'll do my best to provide my experiences.
