Ok, I've been really busy for the last couple months and haven't been on the board much. I was just wondering, have many people been putting in a Ford 9 inch with a "soft" locker? I would like to find someone within driving distance so I can take a ride in their car to see if it is tolerable enough for me. I think a new rearend will be my next mod. I'm ready to drag race but I'm afraid of breaking the weakass 10 bolt. Thanks guys

I've ridden in an '84 T/A(WS6, believe it or not) that had about 625 hp going into a 9" with a Detroit Locker in it. In all honesty, it was like the locker wasn't even in there. Softlockers are actually smoother AND stronger, to the point that I think that's the only kind of Detroit Locker that Tractech makes, now.

If it helps, my Jeep CJ7 has a Detroit and 33" tires, and in the year and a half I've driven it, it's clunked about 7 times. 7 SCARY times, but it they were in tight turns, and the big tires, 4.56 gears, and manual trans compounded the clunk.

Hey guys thanks for all the responses. Sounds like the next mod to my car will probably be a 9 inch with a soft locker.

Hey Derek that sounds great. Do you have a soft locker in an f-body I am assuming? I'm in KC fairly often, so maybe I can stop by sometime. Let me know how I can contact you. Thanks man!
