I would like to know which lockers to get, I was thinking about the Detroit E-Z lockers. I don't go off-road alot, but when I do, it usually some pretty hairy mud or very loose sand. What are your opinions on lockers?
Lockers ...

Lockers are nice but have problems on the street.
Tires wear out faster as they churp around corners. Hitting the gas hard make the truck straighten out. In a corner applying gas you will get sideways in the rain or snow or blow a axle in the dry. Look into the air locker or OX locker so you can control when you need the traction. The front can have a Detroit since you can disengage the front end with hubs and gear shifter. Detroits do make it tough to steer but if you have a good running system you won't notice it that much.
If you pull a trailer you want a selectable locker.
