    Yes and slightly sturdier built than lock rites and are a little quieter to boot.

    Its funny, alot of people do say they are quieter than the lockrite, i think i am the only person who thinks other, my aussie locker seems to bang and pop so much more than my old lockrite :)

    I'm not trying to be a wiseguy Dan, but are you sure your Lock-Rite was working? Everyone I talked wioth about them said that the bang and pop was just part of the deal with a Lock-rite.

    With that said, I'm about to install one in Old Yeller...

    Oh yeah the lockrite was working. it unfortunately it was a contributing factor to the last time the jeep rolled on its side (besides driver error). I had way too muc htraction in teh rear and up and over it went :(

    Thats the first time I have heard someone complain about too much traction causing a rollover.
    The few lockrights I have heard you could hear from 50yards away popin.
