ARB Airlocker or Rockhopper kit?
ARB Airlocker or Rockhopper kit?
I am doing up my 1990 Sierra. So far I have new lifted suspension and muddies. I don't know what to go for next, either rockhopper or air lockers. I can only get one or the other now. What is going to give me the best offroad ability and best 'bang for buck' value first off?
Any thoughts?
Thanx guys!

gearing or lockers
Id go gearing first and weld the rear diff, then put an airleaker on the front when funds allow!

I am building my 1990 Sierra for rocks & mud. I have no interest in sand. I am not going too overboard though - in WA our rock climbing obstacles are nothing like in NSW (I went for a run with the NSW Zook Club some years ago and was blown away!!). I have been 4x4ing for over 15 years, so understand lines etc, but want to be able to go a bit further, and do it a little easier.
Anyone know a good supplier & installer of Rockhopper gears in WA?

My Suzi has a rear air locker and half the time I forget to even turn it on because I never really need it.
I'd far prefer better gearing as at the moment the low range is no-where near low enough on 30's. Low range is where I have the most fun.

if your running 30's or 31's then gearing coz low range just gets too high. But if running smaller than this i say locker....personally i think gearing is fairly useless without the traction to the ground that the locker provides...It doesnt matter how low your gearing is when you've got no traction. jmo and i can definitely see the advantages that others have mentioned. If your comfortable with running a welded rear then as mentioned...do both....lockers and gearing are fantastic when in combination with each other
