I'm looking to buy a locker and 5.13 ring and pinion set for a GM 9.5 14 bolt SF rear axle.

Do any of you guys know where I can get a good package deal?
If there are any dealers on here please contact me.

4wheel parts has an eaton e-locker for $647 shipped and a detroit locker for $607 shipped.
 
What size tire and drivetrain gearing are you planning to run? That might be an issue also on which one to get.

I'm running 35" tires 700r4 and np208

Previously had a 10 bolt with 4.56 and couldn't make it up a hill with my boat so I want some lower gears.
 
Well none of the supporters of this site got back to me and 4 wheel parts sale ends today :crazy:

How big is this boat, or what % grade are you driving?

Is your motor weak(old)?

Boat is approx 4000lbs my understanding is the 4.56 gears are pushing it on a 10 bolt anyway with 35" tires. I'm sure the extra weght of my boat didn't help anything.

Both the engine and transmission are fresh rebuilds. I don't know what the grade is but its pretty steep. I had to drive in 2nd in order to do 55mph up the hill.

I went ahead a purchased the locker through 4wheel parts cause none of the retailers got back to me in time. I've found a set of yukon gears for $200 and will probably purchase those also.
