    You could just swap your rear diff for a stock Toyota e-locker, and run the wiring and switches.
    I went all-in with Eaton lockers on my SR because they are selectable and do not require pneumatics for activation the way the ARB does.

    Why are you regearing?
    Are you adding a lot of weight? Or going to 35+ tires? Both?

    I am on stock (4.10) gearing on 33s, loaded up with skids, sliders, camper shell, plate bumper and winch. (2012 5sp manual 2.7L)
    I wind out the gears a bit longer, but didn't want higher rpms at highway speed that come from going lower.
    I don't feel the need to regear unless/until I go +35" tires.
