Cooked rear 44 air locker spider gears

[Max7]

I own the Rubicon L J. I cooked my rear 44 spider gears. What should I install now?

(1) ARB with compressor $1,000.00
(2) Detroit (bad street manners and all, yes Its a daily driver, but I think I don't care.. $600.00
(3) Factory front locker... I heard they are stronger than the rears but no limited slip.. $450. new from DC
Anything else???
Used???
Opinions?
Thanks, Best Max7

No one that I know that has replaced the rear locker with an ARB has been sad about it.

I wouldn't run the front in the rear for a heavier rig because it's still only a two spider design.

Every front locker I've seen go in the rear broke under the same load. I don't think the fronts are any stronger than the rears. My money would be on an ARB. The ARB's are better in every way.

You know this means I can't ever afford a Kilby OB air system... I ordered the ARB with compressor. Thanks mrblaine.

That's probably for the best anyway. We dallied a bit too long and the owner of the OBA took it away.

Copy that. Thank you for entertaining the possibility.
