Price: $529.00 Pros: Aggressive and solid engagement, no clutch packs to wear out, invisible on street in 2wd. Cons: Expensive and still and LSD, not a locker. Recommended? Yes
Comments: I've had a couple of these. They are the best limited slip units if you don't want a locker. They engage quickly and tight, and last nearly forever. Expensive that's about it.

Price: $500.00 Pros: It's a LS Dif. Great for snow and ice. No clutch plates to wear out and replace. No need for air or cables. Cons: If you lift one side the other doesn't work (unless you hit the breaks) Recommended? Yes
Comments: I want a great snow/ice option. This is better than an open dif, lunchbox, or selectable for road conditions. I'm very happy after 6 months. (and I don't even have to do anything for it to work all the time) With my lift and superflex I've never had 1 rear tire leave the gound off road. (I'm not rock crawling much either)

Price: $400.00 Pros: Great street manners. Excellent snow handling. Solid traction improvement for general trail riding. Durable full-case replacement diff for D35 users. No clutch packs to wear out. Brainless, simple operation with no switches, air lines, cables, etc. Standard diff maintenance schedules and procedures. It works great at what it is and within a carefully defined niche application. Cons: Only available in 27 spline for D35 axles. Not recommended for rock crawling or where tires are lifted often. Recommended? Yes
Comments: While some don't like LSDs of any sort in Jeeps, I have greatly appreciated these LSDs. I have them installed in each axle and they have been flawless for the nearly 6 years I've been running them in the Northwest. Traction is so good fellow club members don't believe I'm running LSDs and not lockers. Operation is exceedingly simple: just drive. Because of the excellent road manners in dry, wet, and packed snowy pavement these are a great traction diff for a daily driven rig or one that sees significant road time going to and from the trails, and a diff I'd take over an autolocker any day. That said, they're not good in rock crawling or when you're lifting tires a lot on the trails. Still, some judicious brake modulation can get the LSDs to hook up if you lift a tire or hit a very slick section and get you rolling again. It's a very similar technique used on first gen H1 Hummers that use a similar gear-based torsen-style LSD. When I first installed these there were limited options for 27 spline upgrade shafts for the D35. But with the chromoly shafts and especially the Superior D35 c-clip eliminator 27 spline kit these diffs would make a nice upgrade.

Price: $500.00 Pros: rear locks when it is supposed to . Doesn't chew up tires Cons: none that i have found yet Recommended? Yes
Comments: I paid to have it installed because i have been in a couple of trucks / cars where people who said they knew what they were doing did their own and then they howl or just lock up and slide off the road at 35 mph not fun worth the dough imho i also spent a little extra and had new bearings races and seals done on my 8.8 should last forever lol ill probably get hit by an old lady in a parking lot as soon as i get out on the road .

Price: $350.00 Pros: easy on the road Cons: doesnt lock up very quickly offroad, takes awhile Recommended? Yes
Comments: its great for light offroading, but once you get one tire completely off the ground it does nothing, and even sometimes when they're both down it wont lock untill its been spinning for a long time

Price: $500.00 Pros: Great traction. Always on. No friction discs. No additives needed. Cons: A little squirrelly on asphalt at first. Recommended? Yes
Comments: I have True-trac's front (D44) and rear (D60) in my TJ. Great traction. I thought I might regret not putting a locker in the rear but the True-trac has proven me wrong.

Price: $450.00 Pros: Transfers power great. Cons: It's never going to be the same as a locker. Recommended? Yes
Comments: If i had a lower fist gear i could get away with not using 4wd most of the time, it's really amazing how far i can get in 2wd now. My first test was to start one wheel on pavement and one in gravel then floor it and the tire in the gravel barely lost traction, i could feel the power transfer almost instantly.

Price: $200.00 Pros: Great upgrade Cons: haven't had any yet Recommended? Yes
Comments: This is a great addition to the D35 w/ 4.10's. I'm able to rock crawl on fairly intermediate stuff. The pic in my profile is from the PA Jeep show and it came in handy. I have yet to have problems with the locker yet. Makes a huge difference.

Price: $475.00 Pros: Long lasting, clutchless, limited slip. Aggressive and reliable engagement. Cons: Whines sometimes in front diff on road. Recommended? Yes
Comments: This is an amazing limited slip. Had it on front Dana 30 in my XJ for 7 years. Continues to work flawlessly in low traction surfaces. Not quite as tight as a locker, but you know it's kicking in when it needs to. The gear driven design is bullet proof and flawless. Kicks butt on factory LSD's. Put one on my WJ too. Same results.

Price: $1.00 Pros: Works good, lasts long time, no clutches to wear. No price because I received it as a gift. Cons: With the truetrac in the front, the Jeep requires a firm hand at the wheel when driving on slippery roads. It's perfectly safe, you just have to stay on top of it when you are on the throttle on the ice. Recommended? Yes
Comments: If you live where the roads get nasty, and want to enhance your front axle, this is the differential to buy. Lockers are not safe on winter roads, and clutch pack LSDs are no good in the front because of the pre-load. Selectable lockers like the ARB or the Ox are fine off-road, but you won't derive any on-road benefit from one. The Truetrac is great off road, and also helps on slippery roads, while still being controllable under street/highway conditions. Yes, you will know it is there, and yes, you have to stay on top of it, but it's safe and easily controlled. It's really only noticeable when changing lanes with snow and/or ice bermed up between the lanes, especially if you are on the throttle.
Mine's been working flawlessly for over 8 years, and well over 80,000 miles.
