Moved to the right section...

You won't go wrong with either of them. They're both excellent choices.

I have an aussie and I love it. Comes with a no-questions-asked 2 year warranty.

I have had a previous zj locked with the lockrite. and Now with my 5.9 I am locked front and rear with the Aussie. I would take the Aussie over the Lockrite every time.

i ran both. Both function the same way, install the same way, but are priced and built slightly different. Close your eyes and pick one, you can't go wrong.

I been thinking about these lately also. How do they handle on the road in slick conditions? With winter comming up i been wondering if it would be better to wait since it would be driven daily.
