Looks like the TeraFlex kit? Nice, up that high you won't need skids lol. I have the Rockhard4x4 belly system on order, they said they are backlogged about 4-5 weeks on orders plus shipping.
Turn up the radio and Bump it! that will buff right out.

I don't see why you can't do a locker with an lsd. I've got one and have been talking with shops about a locker. That whole center section gets replaced anyways, as far as I know. I've also got 3.21's, making it the worst case for picking a specific locker.

You need to buy a locker with ls. There is no adding it. If your putting lockers in why keep 3.21?

To start......a single locker. So gears become a major added expense. Still haven't done anything but talk with shops.

Putting 38’s on that with stock 3.21 gearing, you’ll NEED gearing soon. Add it to your list. Should be done with a locker. You shouldn’t need to ever go bigger then 38’s so any gearing you do will be solid for the foreseeable future.
