Billingsley has amazing customer service as well...everything I have heard about them is good.
They dont list an option for a soft locker, is it something you have to call about?

No, if you get 31 spline axles, it will be a soft locker as opposed to the regular locker with 33 spline axles. They only offer one type of locker for each spline IIRC. That would be something to ask Billingsley, but I'm pretty sure if you ordered 31 spline axles you would automatically get the "soft" locker.

Ok so is there any issues with Gear set up from Billingsley? Gear Whine, bad wear ? etc. I was looking at there Street package with Moser Bolt in housing and Strange center with 31 spline locker and 4.11's. Any comments? I am local so hopefully they will allow me to pick it up. How does this rear compare to a complete bolt in moser rear from Speed Inc?
Thanks,

I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure Billingsley doesn't set them up for the most part. They are setup at Strange, where the center section is bought from. Can anyone else confirm this?
