I just read Peterson's mag and they have an aritcle on the Chrysler 8.25" rear. I guess ARB has decided to finally release an air locker for those of us with that rear end, sorry 9.25" guys. I think the Jeep community helped in that market also. Now if I could only get one for the Dana 30 in the front.....the search continues.

Power Trax makes lockers for both the front and rear. They are now air lockers, but they are lockers.

Sorry Knobbyman

I hate that feeling. I get it a lot when I look for upgrades with my 97. A lot fo stuff for the Chebys and Furds, but not us.

This is from the ARB tech.

We don't make a locker for the rear 8.25 yet, but we should have something for the front axle. Do you have an independent front axle or solid? According to my records they have either used a Dana 44 (solid axle) or a Dana 30 (IFS). If this is the case then we have one for the 44 but not the 30. The reason being is in an IFS setup the axleshafts are retained by a snap ring, and our locker doesn't have the accommodations for this. You may be able to modify it to work though. I hope this helps. If you have any questions please feel free to contact us.

They do make the locker for the rear (8.25) just not the front yet.

Can you clarify that? Again?

You quote ARB as saying they don't make a locker for the 8.25 rear axle. But you say they do. What's the correct answer, and if its yours, what's the part number?

His quote is before they released the rear locker (8.25), but it is now on the market. My argument was with Billy, he said that they make an air locker for the front, but not the rear. So I got the e-mail from ARB that I got a little while ago.

I'll find the part # as ARB hasn't updated the website yet.
