I've removed one of the helper leaves, and that made a difference.

It was the one that the main spring pack is touching, if that makes sense, this way you don't have to open up the main pack.

Also helps it flex better.

The last time i checked there wasn't anything available for the fronts, ARB told me that there wasn't enough rooom in the housing for a front air locker,
for the air lines that is.

Hey Sadiq.

Did you ever get the Sliders fitted?
I want to get sliders but I don't want brackets welded to the chassis.
I should start a new thread about this but just saw your post and thought I'd ask.

Cheers
Iain

Hi mate,

Truck is going well but not doing much 4bying anymore. Too busy with work. Sliders were to be welded to the chassis in 3 or 4 spots. Only real way to fit them unfortunately.

Cheers,

Sadiq.

If you can post a link to where this is an option in Ford's line-up, or where it is in ARB's or others catalogue, it would be appreciated.

I'm still of the opinion that the "locking diff" your friend refers to is simply the differential disconnect (similar to unlocking hubs) using vacuum to disconnect one side of the halfshaft from the differential. The diff is still an open diff with no actual locking of the two sides of the differential.
