FWP runs a D60 with a lockright and 42's , hasn't broken that , he has broken everything else including a knuckle though

I am leaning toward getting a lockrite for my 60

I'm running a Lockright in my D60. Already broke a Yukon 35 spl outer and the locker lived with 42 TSL's

hows the steering??i know you have the longfields but how was it with the yukons???

Well......it's not to bad with hydro assist. Never not had hydro with 42's. When I was 1/2 ton and locked up with 36's steering was managable, but was a pain on the rocks.

I decided to go with a lock rite for my D60 after reading about all the detroit side gears exploding with broken shafts. There are a lot of people running them with no problems.

I have 38s and steering was really tough on the last outing. The steering box ripped through the frame on the front bolts and the rag joint ripped in half. The frame was fine before the trip. I have since added the weld in brace, bolt in brace and an XJ steering shaft.

I am planning to go hydro assist in the future.
