Awesome build! Looking forward to seeing it in use!

My truck is just like yours, SRW Aisin with the 11.5. What year is yours?

Mine is a 16

I’ve thought about it. First I really need to choose lockers. There can be a slight variance in the kit I need vs availability based off the lockers I choose.

Does anyone have good experiences with something other than ARB? I’m looking at a Detroit Truetrac rear and PW style elocker front. Any pros/cons experiences with those in a late model ram?

Thanks

I ran a Detroit in the rear of my 01 2500, I really liked it, worked great, it had some issues in tight turns or on ice, but overall it was streetable. I know a few guys that have ran electric lockers and have has good luck with them. I would recommend leaving the rear stock and just putting an arb in the front.

37 Toyo rt

I had 37 Toyo RTs on my last 4th gen Ram truck and really liked them.

Current truck has 40x13.50R17 Cooper STT Pro (also really like them). They are wearing way better than I thought. I’m doing a 5 tire rotation so should be a while before I need new tires. Then who knows. Might eventually have two sets.

The Yukon Grizzly locker is a mechanical locker.

Ah. Yep I see that now. Their website leaves a lot to be desired.

I guess I’ll be looking into a Detroit E-Locker then.

I’ve heard nothing but good things about the stt pro’s.

I have the Cooper STT Pros in 37x13.5x17 and I love mine.

I have that setup in my CJ7 with an ARB in the front and a limited slip in the rear. It works incredibly well. If you are going to do one selectible locker, definitely do it in the front.

I had the STT Pro's on my 2016 F-250. I loved the look, the price, and the performance, but they got louder as they wore and they didn't wear as well as the RT's have. Nevertheless, they are a great tire.

I'm curious why don't you want ARBs? I put them in my 15 at 5k miles and am having a few issues but I think to no fault of ARB. I did go with 4.56s and am pretty happy with that choice with 37s but think it'll be better with 40s if I can find the clearance.

Every person I know with ARBs in all types of rigs eventually has problems with them. I’m too busy to have truck in shop getting the lockers worked on. They are a great company who stands behind their products, I just want to try something different. I think I’ve decided on 4.30s e locker front and Detroit rear.

I thought I've seen this monster on 40s roll around town. Anyway, Detroit rear is the best mod I have done to my truck and I could only squeeze 37s on the Suburban. With your ridiculously low first gear, 4.30 gears, 40" tires and a rear Detroit I doubt you will ever put in in 4x4 or need a front elocker.

Looking forward to seeing more of your adventures and pictures!
