The most rugged positive locking differential, Detroit is the locker of choice for most four-wheelers wanting to tackle those severe off-road conditions. This automatic locker replaces your stock carrier assembly and provides 100% traction 100% of the time. With the introduction of the SofLocker, Tractec has been able to reduce some of the old bangs and quirks synonymous with the Detroit Locker, however, you can rest assured that when you need traction the Detroit SofLocker will deliver!

Price: $560.00
Pros: worry free and no special lubricants to run.
Cons: could break if an axle shaft is broken, but very rare.
Recommended? Yes

Comments: I love the soft lockers in my dana 30 and AMC 20. The rear is hardly noticed on the street in my CJ7. I like the added insurance of a locker with nothing to leak air or cable to snap. Very subtle lock up and hardly noticed off road. On road quicks are only noticed around turns when hitting the gas pedal or if you have uneven tire pressure could cause a noticed lock up.

Price: $550.00
Pros: No spin
Cons: takes a bit of getting used to as it makes the Jeep handle a lot differently than with open diffs. You definitely can tell it's there driving on road, especially in turns
Recommended? Yes

Comments: takes a bit of getting used to as it makes the Jeep handle a lot differently than with open diffs. You definitely can tell it's there driving on road, especially in turns. But it does the job it's suposed to do offroad. Lockers in general make a huge difference for crawling

Comments: Love my lockers! Rugged, dependable, and a sure thing for lock-up! In fact, with a Detroit Locker up front, you need to be sure you are off-road, or things get REAL dicey in a hurry
