    Just hitting their home page, in the lower left corner there's a link for 5% off if you give them your email.

    Outside of that, I'm not finding anything worthwhile from my usual sources.

    Only difference is being in Canada it'll be just shy of about 5gs for me. Which is why some kinda coupon would be nice haha

    Sweeeeeeet. Hit them up and ask about solid collar upgrades. Its cheap, stronger, and your install guy will thank you.

    Usually kits come with a collapsing collar. If your guy gets the shims dead right first try thats okay, but if he is off at all he has to recalculate when the collar crushes. Solid collars let them have a constant to work with. :thumbsup:

    So a helical in the rear and an e-Locker in the front. Similar combination to what I've been considering, but I keep finding pretty negative opinions of rear LSDs on off-road forums. Everyone seems to think the torque delivered to the low traction wheel is insufficient for off-road use. Everyone seems to evaluate clutch type LSDs not a Torsen, though. I'd really like to know how this combination works out for you, tyler-brown! Keep us posted!

    Locker or selectable (air or electric) for the rear. If for heavier off road use (any type of off roading that could lead to a rear wheel being air borne or zero traction on one side).

    Dirt roads, gravel, sand, snow, etc an LSD is (clutch or gear/torsen).


    Don't bother with the front unless you want heavier steering and other possible problems. IMO

    yah like...I suppose it depends on what you wanna do with your truck. The stock LSD in the rear has been working fine for me all these years, but since Iam pretty much rebuilding the rear end, figured i'd be crazy not to freshen that up as well.
    In my opinion for what I do off road. Ive seen locked fronts go MUCH further than locked rear & open front. The non-power tire front just acts like an anchor. IMO.
    Having selectable up front will give me better road manners, and tire wire. More for oopsie situations than an all day driver. If that was the case the smart bet would be on a SAS (which isnt in the plans)

    True.

    I did torsen front and locker rear on my Tacoma. I also have manual hubs so I would leave the front unlocked until I actually needed it lol.

    I always do rear locker, selectable if it will be primarily street driven. Front selectable, but only when you need it. I’ve seen lots of snapped CV’s from front lockers.

    Look up how the Torsen works, I believe they do not work when a tire is lifted off the ground. It’s hard to beat an Auburn limited slip for normal use.
