Best diff locks and 6" lift kit

[Shunkaha Witko]

Hello I am Anthony Campagnie

I have a 96 k3500 srw crew cab long bed 454 vortec, it has no g80, 4x4 doesnt work for the moment so very difficult to go anywhere, i would like to install front and rear diff locks, what is the best option? Also for liftkit 6"? Thx

I don't believe there are currently any front lockers for the GM 9.25" front IFS...

For the rear, you can do Detroit, ARB air locker, E-locker... there's pretty of options for the 10.5 14 bolt axle.

Dunno where you are but I have a brand new in the box Superlift 5-7" for a 1 ton. May or may not put it on.....plenty of options for lockers. Not sure if one is still available or not for the front.

I am from Belgium..., thanks for the info already, for the rear locks, is one better than the other or al the same, for me its inportant that I can go wherever I want with my truck, it can be automatic lock like a g80 for example, maybe a stronger version, or a e locker but whats more trustable? And also easy to install...

h2 9,5" rear e locker should fit.

I'm pretty sure OP has a 10.5" though...I didn't think the 9.5" and 10.5" lockers would be interchangeable, will they?

Ok, gotcha...you know I was wrong on my Post #2. They do make an ARB air locker for the GM 9.25" : https://eastcoastgearsupply.com/i-2893836-gm-aam-9-25-ifs-arb-air-locker-rd197-33-spline-all.html

I can't remember if I read that this unit (or another unit) is prone to cracking the case though. I don't know for sure. Plus, it is pretty spendy, then you need the little compressor.

I would personally look at doing a SAS if I wanted a locker, but probably at least double or triple the cost of the ARB.

So 9.25 is front and 10.5 14 bolt in the rear?
"h2 9,5" rear e locker should fit." Is that for the rear then? H2 is hummer? 9.5 to 10.5 would that fit?
Tnx
