I dont think they make the lock-right for the LS case, they do make a no-slip for the LS case, its a smoother version of the lock-right. Or you could stick in an open case.

get a lunch box locker, they are smother than a lock right.

You do realize a lock-right is a lunchbox locker right?

Maybe he means a No-Slip????

i thought the lunch box was no slip?

A lunchbox is any locker that takes place of the spider gears instead of a whole carrier, Aussie locker, lock-right, no-slip, quick lock and ez-lock are all lunchbox lockers.

Yo,
Now aussie does not mention any restrictions based on carrier. Has anyone found this to be true?

Well the carrier's are different, so an Aussie won't work with the LS carrier... A lunchbox designed for an LS case will need to be larger to fill the void where the clutches were. Really, an open carrier swap isn't too difficult, just use the same shims and races from the open carrier on the correct sides and double check the backlash and it should be good to go.

The Aussie is for open carriers only.

To me? No.. Off-road the trak-lok will slip like an open diff.
