I`m planning on putting a 2" body lift on with 30x9.5" tires. I want some extra help in the mud. I am looking into a locking differentials. I`m gonna put one in the rear first since I`ve heard not to put one in the front unless you do some serious offroading. I don`t know which brand to buy, and I also want to know what kind of problems people are having with them if any. Right now I`m leaning towards the Power Trax Lock Right which is automatic instead of a manual locking diff. I want as many opinions as possible, because I want to make the best decision for my Jeep,

Carl,

Here`s how I do it: [No, I`m no artist]

T = > transfer case yoke U = U-joint D = Driveshaft, big side d = Drive shaft, > small side A = Axle yoke

T A TUDDDDDDDDDDDDD > UA TU dddddddddddUA TUDDDDDDDDDDDDD UA T > A

Mo

the only seal on the drive shaft is on the short side.
