I want it install lockers in my truck, but not for serious off road use. I need a rear locker that is very street friendly. We use the truck for hauling heavy loads down the interstate so I would prefer something that would make improvements in that area. The reason I want to lock both the front and rear is because we some times traverse down roads that require it. We barely make it through unlocked and unloaded so imagine the complication a heavy trailer adds to the problem. Then when it rains, these roads turn into a sandy and muddy challenge so there is no traveling down them with the truck like it is now. I would prefer on demand lockers but no one I have researched makes them for a Sterling 10 ¼. So, what do you all suggest? What lockers are out there that would work with my truck and fit our needs?

I forgot to mention something. For the D60 up front, I want a decent middle of the road kind of locker. I want something that will perform in the above mentioned environments, but I do not think I require a high dollar top of the line locker

You are right the demand type lockers are the way to go. They cost a little more but you don't get any side effects when you don't need them, especailly on dry pavement. Check ARB for the 10.25.

ARB does not list it, but Rand's Ring and Pinion does.

I checked their web site again and they list model RD37 for the 10.25

The web site I accessed did not even have Ford listed. That is one of the problems with google over here. Some times it takes you to UK Google and you have no idea where ou will end up.
