    I wouldn't do the lincoln locker for a DD... I did it in my lifted 93' and had hell driving in town. I think the money I ate up in tires could have been put to a good limited slip or locker... not to mention I think I went through u-joints more often. Check out the classified forum at Pirate4x4.com, I always seem to find killer deals on parts there.
