So yeah looks like I get a decent amount of money back from my tax agent. Happy Days. 😁 I am currently running an Iron Man 2" lift on my Patrol. Now I want something new and contemplating whether I should go lockers or a higher, flexier lift. I am running a rear LSD (I believe, I can't say for sure if it still works) and an open front diff.

If I decide to go with lockers, should I get 1) air locker, 2) eaton electronic locker or 3) auto locker?

Which one does more front or rear locker?

What do you mean by flexier lift? Have you tried driving without your front sway bars? Can you show us a pic of your current flex? Lockers are great in situations where you have one side off the ground and all that power goes nowhere so I'd go lockers if I were you. 🙂

Having had a 1996 Pajero and a 1991 Maverick (GQ patrol) i'd go with rebuilding the LSD nice and tight, good rubber and a front auto locker. It will stay comfortable and will be very capable.
