just wanted to see who locally was running them and what your experiences with them have been.

i only know of a couple rigs in the longview area running them with good success, Shannon has them in his truck and seems to be sticking with them, but he has also broken a couple axles. there is a set in the Portland Craig's list for 1000 bucks, if its just a trail rig i think there worth it, but the cost of disk brake kits to make them street legal isn't worth it in my opinion, just get some Dana 60s. pinion brakes work awesome there just not street legal. and you can fab them up really easy, there also easy to work on. Detroit makes lockers for them, or just weld them up, gearing is limited to only 6.71 if I'm not mistaken, but the one thing i will admit is nothing looks cooler than Rockwell's under a rig, thanks Kevin TDCAuto
