    I don't know who "they" are. There are lots of people with various setups that have posted before. I've seen people do both LSDs and lockers. Some people think LSDs for the front are better because you're less likely to break stuff (the weak point being the CVs) and they require no maintenance, but also that you shouldn't do an LSD/lunchbox style in a truck with ADD. I've seen people who install lockers are start breaking CVs and regret it. Then I've seen people running lockers for years and never break a thing. Then there are the people who break tons of CVs, then get a locker and stop breaking CVs because they can better control their wheel speed.

    It seems that breaking stuff has more to do with how heavy your right foot is than anything else...

    I don't have one myself, and I kinda flip flop on the cost/benefits of a locker vs LSD, as far as parts breakage, etc... Since I have ADD, I'll likely end up with a locker at some point, though.
