I scratched my head at that for a bit too. Maybe reduction gears?

I would go detroit if going 38's as a lokkas probably won't handle 38's too good and break

Lokka & Detroit are the same type unlocker. Detroit comes complete with its own carrier ready to bolt in. Lokka reuses original carrier. Detroit is much stronger.

Depending on the type of detroit (softlocker) they are different to the lokka, and with 38s I would go the detroit

By reducers.. im meaning low range reducers.. eg rockhopper gears etc...

So what are these different type of detroits 'booflux' mentioned. I think they have one called an EZ Locker dont they..?
What else is avaliable and whats reccommended? Of course i want the strongest avaliable.

ez locker is the same as the LOKKA brand locker
the softlocker uses a ratchetting ramp system, and the newer ones have clutch packs to dampen any harshness according to my understanding... and they are alot smoother than the LOKKA types which use a pin that clicks in and out (i think)
