I' had a bit of a look in the bible and on the ARB website and think i can get air lockers for a 1996 SUZUKI VITARA SE416C Type4 JX is this right?
What else would you recomend i replace to make it a strong car off road?
thanks thomas

the rear locker is a 12 bolt version. [ there are 10 & 12 bolt types ]. carefull of the front diff as its an alluminium housing and don't go stupid on tyre size.

Mine's a JX 1996 Vit and I have a rear air locker, best mod I have done.
I have run 30" on my Vit for years and no problems.
