I was getting ready to do the lockers and gears for my jeep. I was going to go to 4.10's and I know the front needs a locker on the front but dose my dana 44 rear have a locker from the factory? its not a rubi. So I wanting to know if I need lockers for my front and rear?

If it isn't a rubicon then no you won't have a locker in the rear. You might want to consider 4.88 gears if you plan on going with a 35 inch tire. Also you might have to change the carrier in the front.

Yeah you probably want 4.88 gears to get it back to stock.

I already have 35's and people told me go to 5.13's but i think that is a little high. 4.88 work out good? thanks for the help.

Do you have a manual or auto?

manual. also are Detroit lockers any good? or what kind do you guys think would work best for someone that is mild off road and on weekends or maybe 3 times a month.

Most people will say go ARB I think. The 5.13 vs 4.88 is kinda up in the air. If you do a lot of highway driving go 4.88. Otherwise 5.13 would be great for offroad.

Ok cool i think 4.88 will work then, I can only go on the trail when im not working or my wife isn't bitching. So not that often . thanks for the help.

wasn't there a rear locker option in '07? I think they're might have been. regardless, if you don't have a switch labelled "axle lock" on the dash down by the esp switch, then you don't have a factory locker.

What is your budget for lockers?

Post 7 in this one is a good place to start

And try plugging your VIN in here. If you are in the system, it will show if you have a factory limited in the rear.

They aren't the greatest option, but depending on your needs, it may be sufficient.
