LS and/ or Lockers

If I have the rear ARB lockers installed, isn't my SMB rear end still Limited slip when the rear lockers are not engaged?

Nope, Open Differential when Not Engaged.

Re: LS and/ or Lockers

Now it begins to make sense. It's question of LS only or OD/locker.

I kept wondering why someone wouldn't want both....


Thanks!

I ended up going with limited slip differential.
Thanks for the enlightenment oldbonesclimber.

LS and/ or Lockers

In my Jeep I have an Auburn Ected "locker". It is a limited slip when it's disengaged and it's a much tighter limited slip when it's engaged.

I wouldn't call it a true locker because I can (and regularly do) make one wheel spin freely even when it's engaged but it does work well enough.
