Rear end decision help

[Fox331]

Trying to plan out my rear end and could use some input. I've always had Eaton posi units but this time I'm going with 4.10's an wanted to try something new. I daily drive my car so I'm not sure which one would be better for me.

I was debating between a Detroit locker & 33 spline axles or a spool & 33 spline axles.

Any input is greatly helpful.

Thanks all!

I loved my Tru-Trac. Locks tight and hooks when u need it but very friendly on the street..... My .02

Spool? On the street?
No.

Lockers are even harsh for a driver.

I have a friend that drives around with a spool an he says it does just fine

Even the "soft lockers" (Lock Right, etc.) are harsh.
Have you driven on the street with a spool or a Locker?
They want to make the car go straight, all of the time, like a John Deere.
Squeals inside tire in slow turns.
Twists axles (leading to axle fatigue and snap @ differential) constantly.
Herky jerky like a 4x4 with the front hubs locked, on dry pavement.

What would you gain from either one over a clutch type?

All depends on what you're after.
JMO.

Does anyone else think it's a little ironic that fox331 started this thread with the avatar they are using? lol Sorry I have no useful information on this subject, gl with your decision.

do not go with a detroit locker if you are daily driving it.. I have a 2009 Shelby GT500 with a Detroit Locker and it terrible for a DD with it.
