Default TRADE: my 9" DETROIT LOCKER, for 4.30s and spool (31 spline)

hey,
i have a 9" with a Detroit locker currently installed in my car.. it works great, and i love it.
however, im stepping it up a bit, and i want to go with some steeper gears... from the current 3.70s to some 4.30s... since money is tight, the easiest way i see to get this done soon is to trade my beloved locker, for the gears...and obviously a spool too.


recap:
my locker is a 31 spline... im looking to trade it for a 31 spline spool, and 4.30 gears...

any takers?

i wont lie, the locker is a bit rough at times... however once you get used to it back there, you just push the clutch in, and its not bad at all...

instead of the usual spool sliding tire/ large turning radius parking lot stuff, you can just turn into place as tight as with a posi, and without the rear of the car lifted and twisted... but sometimes it will go "clack-clack" back there as you're turning.

sometimes coming out of a tight turn (say, a right turn off of a side street onto a mainroad) it'll jump a tiny bit.. nothing scary, but its just that one tire was locked, the other was on the edge of the key from the turn, so it had to slip in before it locked... with the exhaust i dont hear a noise from that, but i feel the slight kick..

once you get used to it, you have the tight turning and daily driver ability of a posi, but the tires lock like a spool at the strip. to be honest im 2nd guessing myself if i should get rid of it or not.. but i really want/need some bigger gears and cash is kinda tight..

id have to look to see the exact miles, but it is around 3,000...

My spool has about 1,500 miles on it and about 5,000 on the gear.
