I have an '03 Liberty with the 3.7, SelecTrac and automatic trans, and I just installed the ol' OME lift kit from Rocky Road.
I'd like to get some lockers next. What are the good locker options currently?
The rear differential is open currently. I have stock tires now but figure I'll end up with 245/75R16's when these wear out. (I gather those are the biggest that'd fit.) I plan to never go bigger than that. This is a daily driver that needs to go up and down muddy, rutted-up trails and occasionally also drives on wet/ muddy pavement where I very much do like to use the "Full Time" mode. I'm not rock crawling or trying to go fast off-road.
Would it be wise to use a selectable locker on the front to avoid any possible on-road handling problems, and then use an automatic locker on the rear to get three-wheel drive? If I ever get stuck on three wheels then I can activate the front locker and hope for the best?
Or is there an automatic setup that works good in the front with SelecTrac, even on-road? Am I best off just going selectable on both ends?
Thank you, I know nothing.
