Thread: Remember building Lincoln lockers when you were a kid...

Tweet

I have done a few, in my old jeep, I had put in a dana 44, same thing happened was coming home from work one day and bam the spiders wanted out, I had the same choices as your son, and chose the Lincoln locker.

I like to shim (washer cut in half) the back side of the spiders and weld them to the case, I also do this to the axle gears, then weld the spiders/axle gears together were they touch, I have never had one break even driving on the street. The reason I do it this way is if the welded spiders break, you will need a new carrier anyways, that would be the time to buy a Detroit which would replace all but the ring gear.

Just my 2 cents.
Godspeed
